Default New coyote hunter (advice)

Couple weeks ago I saw some fellas combining a cornfield, turned around and asked one of them about the possibilities of deer hunting(archery).

Right away they said, well we don't own the property.
I asked whom, they said well we'd rather not give that info out.

Ok fine
Made small talk for awhile, offered any help and such, talked about how I always see 20-30 deer in the field during late season.

I was about to leave and one of the gentlemen asked for my name and number, said he would give it to the landowner and let him know that I inquired.

Went on my merry way never expecting to hear anything.

Well to my surprise I received a call from the landowner today, made small talk.

Anyway, he asked me if I varmint hunt, coyotes specifically.
I said no not really, just the occasional coyote during deer season.

He said, tell you what, you come out here and kill coyotes, every coyote you kill gives you 1 day of deer hunting.

So here I am needing advice..

What must have call/s do I need?
What caliber should I use, have access to:
6mm
17hmr
AR/223

What is the best approach for Jan/Feb hunting?
Field edges, woods, high ground, bottoms?

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Oh and an overview of the property, a little over 300 acres.
