You know, I think alot of it is where you are.

I know that around here, roads make a HUGE difference. Probably because there is one every mile or so. And, there are alot of road hunters, including every farmer around, that carries a rifle and shoots out the window at every coyote they see. That does make em a little road shy, believe it or not.

Now, in Canada, I have never been there, but I would guess, the roads are a bit further apart, making road hunting a little harder. And, yeah they may cross roads. They do in the desert. Actually use the road for the shooting lanes out west quite a bit.

Alot of this is common sense. Where you are, work with what you got, giving yourself as much of the odds as you possibly can. If you got an area to hunt, check the wind first and determine from the direction and speed, where the best place to set up is going to be in relation to the area you think the coyotes going to come from. Then, when you set your stand, place your caller in relation to you to up your odds by blowing the sound to the coyote where he will have a corridore to travel to the sound and feel comfortable, while putting yourself in the best position you can to kill this coyote on his way to the call, at the same time blocking your downwind side with either a barrier or giving yourself a shot, should he circle on you.

After you have had some successful stands, you, I know I can, go into a strange area and watch the wind and choose good stand locations, without knowing much about the area at all.

I can gurantee you there are some vast differences in how you set a stand and how a coyote reacts to different things, such as roads, in different parts of the country. But the basics and the coyotes dont change. Just the terrain. The big woods of the Northeast, the farmland around here, the sandhills of of Nebraska and the desert Southwest are all great coyote hunting areas. And the terrain is drastically different. But the basics are the same.
