i live in pa an we have done some fox hunting an recently started callin in coyotes on a few farms using cottontail in distress..usually pretty late after 9pm until about 2am.. the farms are pretty decent size an have some thick patches of woods an not many houses. they also have creeks running through them. I know they are cautious animals if something doesnt look right or smell right when coming in, They are gone! Not sure if this is much help or not. Good luck
