Smokeman... just sharing something I have found out over the years hunting coyotes here in the east... Incase you might want to give it ago sometime. I initially hunted out in less human populated area's with minimal luck... I have determined that the eastern coyote is not that afraid of human interaction... they come right up to peoples houses in my area and eat out of their pets dishes and even their pets.I found I get my best resultshunting close to populated areas where it is easier pickings for them tofind food... Itry to setup on travel areas where they may feel secure coming and going... hencepowerlines, railroad tracks, gravel pits, ravines, dry ditches, etc.
