Adrian,we do a lot of Coyote Hunting from the ground but when ever possible I like to set up high and see further across the different fields we have especially if it has high grasses or crops and You can see further and cover more ground.It doesn't always work out but for the most part We have an advantage over the Coyotes by being up off the ground and scent wise we hunt the wind and try to stay scent-free as possible similar to Deer Hunting,as far as movement we just don't move around a lot same as ground hunting plus not many Predators look up 15-17 feet into tree's.

I hunted a large open Hay Field friday evening by setting up my Caller 50-75 yards away and I used the existing Hay Bails for cover to watch the Field running west and north with woods to the front of me,I had 2 come out just before dark but didn't get a shot,I also set up the same way at our Farm when the CRP Fields are mowed and the Coyotes come out looking for mice,rodents or rabbits to eat...it works and just last week I called out a Bobcat to an open field up to my E-Caller into the food plot we just planted this Spring....the Cats are out of Season right now so it didn't get shot!
