[QUOTE="Hellgate, post: 2476050, member: 117854"] "I've had two instances where I am covered in coyotes, with two different groups within 30 yards of me yipping and howling and carrying on, but can't get anyone to come in." If they're within 30 yards they have come in. It is a matter of making a set where you have a clear field of fire and no dips or brush where they can be out of sight and that close without showing themselves. Where I park the rig varies with the terrain. If flat I might ditch it in a dip or depression 1/2 mile or more away. If there are ridges or hills I will park it on the back side and go over the top or around to get on the other side of the rise to make the set. I'm very conscious of sounds of the rig and in or around the rig. Seatbelt and car keys-in-the-ignition warning buzzers/bells drive me nuts! A slammed car door (think naive hunting partners) pretty much blows the stand for me. Tire sounds on a well graveled road on a calm day can be heard many hundreds of yards away. The challenge is avoiding getting spotted, heard, or smelled before getting to the stand. I try to hang the call on a fence or branch if possible. I have made an adapter from white PVC pipe & cap with a protruding bolt on top (to attach to the tripod port) that fits over the T-posts of barbed wire fencing. Otherwise I try to put the call on a visible area on a slight rise with its tripod. I do not use the decoy feature if the call is on a post or wire. [/QUOTE]
