I might add, when playing pool you are on one table.
When Coyote hunting you play on many tables...let me explain...
as seasons change so do Coyotes home range...
As UB stated, Food is important, but so is cover.
In my area of Pa., Coyote become very lazy during the summer, for the most part laying up in Corn fields and not traveling too far.
As the corn is cut, Coyotes go to the next unharvested field and hold, until that's taken off. This is repeated as Corn is taken off.
Now it's mid-late fall the young of the year are dispersing (and some adults), it's a busy travel time for Coyotes. They are anywhere and everywhere at times, here today, gone tomorrow, but holding in thick cover.
By early to mid-winter some cover is flat: windblown, snow packed, died off.
Pine swamps, Dense pine stands, thickets, slash'ns, log'n cut outs become hold up spots for winter Coyote. I don't think our Pa. winter Coyote doesn't travel far from food, he may be close. Winter Coyote have stumped me many times. I think I have 'em pegged, then poof...their gone. Some times it takes me years to learn 'why'. Often times I find out that so and so had a dead cow or butchering scrapes dumped at the back forty and the Coyotes moved to that food. Shoulda been there, Hern...tracks all over and Dad saw two! Dang...missed out again.
