Day or Night? Coyote hunting

[PREDATE]

I hunt coyotes primarily at night.I've rarely seen them during the day
here in upstate New York.Am I making a mistake in not pursuing them in the daytime? I hunt mostly overgrown fields that are surrounded by woods and hedgerows, with mowed paths throughout.
I just sometimes feel that they are too concealed in the tall weeds and woodlines,which I've occasionally dealt with by elevating myself in trees or logpiles. I sometimes sit crosswind from a fresh rabbit fur.I use a 12Ga. and could use some advice about throwing off the coyotes noses.I know that fooling their senses is quite impossible but
any advice on drawing them "dogs" closer would be appreciated.THANKS!

I hunt them at dawn and dusk.




I scout the area and study their habits at those times.




I then set-up in good cover and call, sometimes with the help of a furry critter looking "thing".




It often takes three hunts in "that" area before I score.




I believe in camo from head to toe and remaining motionless as much as possible.




And I also try to gain elevation for my stands.



However, I live in very hilly terrain and I use a rifle.




Although I have shot most of them within 80 yards.




Keep it up and Good luck !!!

If you have the time, try some daylight hunting. You might be surprised on your results. As always try and call from a place that gives you the best vision. That includes seeing the area that you are calling as well as what is behind you.

is there any logging roads or trails? i would get the wind in my favor off of a trail and give it a shot. if the area is super thick i would put my money on the yote coming in off of a trail. i love night hunting but i have killed most of my yotes in the morning and when the sun is going down
