im from the north east. the coyotes are tough to hunt hear. i would suggest that you start calling with a mouse sqealling call, progressively getting louder and being patient.i typically do that for about a half hour, maybe calling for a minute and staying quiet for five. then i do the same with a dying rabbit. each set about an hour. i sit real still and enjoy the woods. i make sure i am as scent free as when deer hunting or more, and keep the movement to a bare minemum. they have keen scense, all of them. i prefer the morning, and seem to have the best luck 1-2 hours after daylight. otherwise, i prefer just after dark. they come right out at sundown, and may cruise over to pick up a quick meal. i've had the most luck with mouse squeals, as i dont think many people use them, and its kinda suttle. they seem to sneak in to see what is going on. coyote hunting is not easy by any means. it is not high percentage hunting. you gotta keep at it, and hunt near the freshest and most sign you can find. you may go a couple nights right at dark and try to get them to howl with a siren to find out where they are bedded then set up near there in the morning. oh and if they bust you and start to run, give them a loud woop woop and they usually stop to look. good luck and post the pics when you get one!!
