Coyote season is officially in the books, and in this episode of the Hush Life Podcast, Matt and Jed break down the full recap — the wins, the failures, and everything we learned chasing predators all winter long.

We talk about the stands that went exactly how we planned… and the ones that completely fell apart. From dry spells and blown opportunities to hard-earned success, we unpack what actually worked this season when it came to coyote hunting, predator calling setups, stand strategy, wind discipline, and patience. If you're into western predator hunting, winter coyote tactics, or just real conversations about the grind behind the scenes, this one's for you.

We also share practical tips and advice we wish we would've known earlier in the season — the small adjustments that made a big difference. Whether you're new to predator hunting or have years under your belt, there are some solid takeaways in this episode you can apply on your next hunt.

And it wouldn't be a Hush Life episode without stirring the pot a little bit… We officially extend a coyote hunting challenge to our bosses, Casey and Eric. The stakes? Let's just say it's going to get competitive.

We also drop a small nugget about what's coming next for us and future hunts you won't want to miss.
