Wow, this is all great advice from guys who have been there, done that. I truly appreciate it all and will take it to heart. I probably won't get out again until the Jan. 22 weekend but I'll print this thread off so I can reference it.
Again, many, many thanks.
Couple more questions:
1) I understand how some of you guys use the roads as barriers because the coyotes are reluctant to cross or walk along them. However, where I usually hunt the roads always have coyote tracks on them. Always. Scat too. Do you suppose this is because the coyotes here are not pressured at all? Almost no one hunts them. I'm guessing since they can live hassle-free in this area, they don't mind walking the roads. But that's a guess. I'd like to hear your theories.
2) Where I hunt it is very dense brush. You can only see maybe 100 yards at the best of times but usually half that. However, there are areas that are clearcut by logging companies. The clearcuts are plenty big, but they leave little patches of 50-70 trees in one clump in the middle. Would it be wise to call from one of these clumps and expect a coyote to come across the clearcut? Or are my hopes too high?
Ha, that might be just a bit tooooooo easy if they would. But I never tried that because I didn't think they'd come in across open ground.
Cheers and thanks again.
