RE: Coyote Hunting
were i hunt it doesnt matter where you sett up, but it does matter what you shoot. use a 22-250 with a 55gr v-max bullet and it will put him down. screw the .204 we shot one with it and found it about a week latter using our nose. my gunn(1971 custom remington model 700 22-250) splattered the brains and guts every where. i shot it in the head from 200 yards away and the v-max came out the butt.

Also, it always matters where you set up, do it wrong and you won't kill very many coyotes, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut ever now and then.
You might be able to pull the wool over some, but you're not going to fool every one with this kind of garbage.

I don't have much experience, but I can try and give you a few tips. First off, don't call to loudly at first. Make sure you start calling quietly in case you have one close by you. Secondly, as with any other animal make sure you do not move at all while hunting coyotes. They pick out movement very easily. Also make sure you aim at their chest above their front leg. their vitals are further ahead than in other animals, and if you go for a shot further back, they could get away. Always wear complete camo (gloves, facemask), that blends in to the surroundings, and have fun. Good luck.

RE: Coyote Hunting
Waterfowler,
I've been hunting pheasants in Clark and Spink county SD for a couple of years now and we hear coyotes just about every night we're there. I know some of the landscape of those counties. Brushy ravines, slough bottoms, woodlots, vacant farm sites, hills andCRP of coarse. What is the terrian like where you'll be hunting? Some of the areas mentioned above wouldbe good places to set up and do some calling. GoodLuck!
