I was up north this past weekend and the coyotes are fairly active.  Although we did not get to squeeze the trigger, we had decent action.  Had one coyote back door us in the thick stuff.  As soon as I saw him he was gone (I was looking the wrong direction).  located a small group of three or four but could not get them to commit.  Also located what I think was a single coyote.  Worked him for what seemed like hours with now success.  Also located a pair which we could not hunt due to location.

We had a few incidental call ins as well.  One bear to 10 yards (thank god I was looking in the right direction), which I thought I was going to have to shoot (finally took off), one bobcat to 13 yards and one bull elk to 30 yards.  We also saw turkeys (not while hunting) and deer (while hunting and not).  All in all a very tiring and busy weekend as I also hung stands, trimmed paths and lanes, removed all the taxidermy from the camp walls, cleaned and re-hung.  My wife can't understand why I come home and have to rest.  Lol.
"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!

Sounds like a good weekend. I think I would have worried about the bull elk more then the bear if there were any cows
around.

I agree but I didn't see any cows which I thought was strange.  Being at night though they could have been anywhere and I just did not see them.
