RE: What kind of scouting do you do?
The areas that I hunt here in Pa are hit and miss as far as the coyotes go. I'm new to this but so far my best luck is to ask property owners if they are seeing/hearing them , and also listen to your hunting buddies, where did they see them during deer season. Around here the coyotes have just started to show up over the past few years, and hunting them has just started to catch on. Most are taken by deer and bear hunters just by luck. Most of the farmers are glad to let you hunt them because they are afraid for their smaller livestock and barnyard cats, etc..
