[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1609443, member: 90399"] Went out with my dad Sunday. It was both of our first time coyote hunting. All of last week I spent reading tips on coyote hunting. We didn't see any yotes, but we did see some tracks. All of my questions are around hunting eastern coyotes in wooded areas and on the borders of fields. How far do you typically hunt away from cars and traffic? West Michigan has lots of large chunks of state or federal land with seasonal two tracks or snowmobile trails going through them. It seems like we have to drive through or close to where we actually want to be hunting. Or... we walk 2-3 miles between sets. I keep my vehicle out of view of our hunting location. But maybe that's not enough? I'm willing to walk more if need be. If we go out at night and use a call to get coyotes to howl back at us, are those yotes usually in the same area during the day also? Do coyotes stay hunkered down if it's windy like deer often do? I put my call upwind and facing upwind, usually 20-30 yards away. Is that far enough? If we were hunting a clearing, I put the call and decoy at the edge of the clearing to try to draw the coyote out of the woods some. You guys do the same? Will coyotes live/travel in areas that are mostly wetland? There are deer that live in the wetlands, but I'm assuming maybe not an abundance of other food for them like rabbits, etc. But I could be wrong. Or should we focus on only the hardwood areas? I'm not expecting one person to answer all of these. :) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
