How often do you actually call in a coyote?
#2
We call in coyotes at least one or two every time we go out.
don't go in wind over 15 MPH, Nor in the rain or while having a major snow storm.
Of course we do not call them in on every set every day. Some places the coyotes have just moved on seeing as their range is so large.

I should have pointed out that you do not spend time calling where the coyotes are not.
We try to call every land owner at least 2 days before the hunt or the day before. We ask have you seen any coyotes and a lot of times they haven't during the day but some times in the evenings or early evenings. Many will tell us they have heard them in the evening or in the early mornings though.
Some times we deviate from our mapped plan, so we will stop and run our siren locator sounds. If we hear coyotes howling we will stop and hunt the place if not we pass on by.

Deer hunting is about having permission on ONE (or a few) great pieces of ground. Coyote hunting is about having permission on as many spots as possible to give you an opportunity to hunt where the coyotes are, when the coyotes are there. Which is really to say - COYOTES CAN BE AND OCCASIONALLY ARE EVERYWHERE, whereas big bucks are not. It's a very different game.

I like to go to a certain area for a reason; found carcass, calving time,
fawns are dropping, rancher/farmer having problem, etc.
Plus I like to spot and stalk coyotes just as must as calling.
Remember, a hawk is only successful 1-10 attempts !!!

IMO daytime & night hunting are 2 different things.

When the farmers cut Alfalfa or Hay the Yotes show up and the background of the cut silage makes for good low light shooting.
Yotes mark their territory with scat, I've often come across places with twenty or more Yote scats, all the way from fresh to white. They visit these spots often.
After a rain I scout for trails, the closer you get to a Den the more well worn the trail. The trails often follow a fence line or a mound between fields.
Anyplace with a high Rodent or Rabbit population is likely to have Yotes around.
