I think you'd be further ahead to concentrate on the closest local pocket of coyotes than to
travel to areas far away that you're not familiar with.
This would save on scouting time. IMO the more you know the land, the better off you are.
 

I agree 100%.

I agree 100% but not going to happen around here!

Haha, guess its a blessing and a curse...I'll take a hand full of dumb dogs over a boat load of educated ones any day ;D

QUATTRO, I rather take a boat load of young and dumb than one wised up Coyote.

I have taken a few educated Beaver and Coyote. It's hard work and time consuming. There isn't time during fur season to do this work. 10 young Fox/Coyote pay 10 times more than 1 educated Fox/Coyote.

Buckwheat, once again, I have no clue where the best Coyote hunting in our state. Let me know when you find out. LegLifter gave sound advise. And you probably wouldn't have to drive within an hour to hit different family groups.
Some times we can't see what's under our nose.
Buckwheat, why don't you kill a ton of Reds, take Barn shot pictures and become a living legend? ;D

I know you think i should take advantage of the game in a person's home turf. But I do not own a barn, so much for that idea.
But you are right I should just enjoy coon and fox.
But one more bobcat would be a great adventure for me.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

I have to go up and mow grass at camp soon.
I hope to get out a little for coyotes if just to listen.
The numbers of coyotes at camp is unknown to me this year. The last couple of years I have not hunted for coyotes there, it was hard to hear or see any so I just let that area go.
Maybe I should check it out again I am thinking.

Yep there are coyotes around.
They are spotty and had to put a few miles on the road. But me and my brother called 5 in and shot one we missed two.
We were both complaining we did not take are Tri-X-Stand shooting rests.

Nice Job Ernie.  I am going up this weekend.  Leaving today after work actually.  I hope to get a little hunting in myself after I move stands, hang stands and do some work on inside.  Care to give me some hints?  By the way what did you shoot it with (caliber)?
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

Brushwolf
The one I shot was at daybreak, but we hunted from 3 am to about 9 am. But to much vegetation for shots at night. First light with sun rise at back was better for shooting in the thick fall woods. But I wish I did have my tripod. It is hard to hold still free hand. I had one coyote stand still broadside down a dirt road that I missed. I could have shot his eye out if I had my rest.

Well that's still a hell of a morning! Shooting in the woods this time of the year is difficult no matter how good of a shot you are. Again WTG !
