[QUOTE="msalm, post: 259468, member: 8863"] Depending on PA state laws you have a few options. Here is WI we can now use artificial lights 'at the point of kill' when calling predators at night. Even so, I've still had a lot more luck hunting with a full moon and a good snow. No light is required as it's very easy to pick up an animal with a scoped rifle (or a shotgun with #4 Buck for that matter). At night I've had a lot more luck calling them in and they'll run across open fields with wreckless abandon at times. Not so in the daytime (around here anyway). Even then, I've found it more productive to do your calling from small patches that already have a lot of rabbit sign with a good field of view around you. My perspective is those coyotes know every square inch of that area and probably have hunted or killed rabbits in the past from those areas. When they hear the squealing, or another coyote howl from that location, they'll run in for the easy meal. That said I've also laid in the middle of a field with whites on and called them into the open too. Just be sure and stick it out for a good 45 minutes at each location, and if you know they're there, one hour isn't out of line at a calling setup. There have been many that ran into the call within the first few minutes, but I've had enough come in after 1/2 hour of calling to make sitting longer worth while. The few I've called in during daylight hours have ALMOST always been in thick cover/woods where they spend the majority of their daylight hours. [/QUOTE]
