[QUOTE="Mark Brendemuehl, post: 455197, member: 25181"] First off- if you are seeing that many coyotes, you are already doing something right! To find places I look for fencelines, drainage ditches, shelter belts, stuff like that, that can use as a travel corridor. Anytime they can use these items to move they will. Next, talk to landowners and find out where they see them, and or hear them. I then scout that area with a spotting scope to look for traveled paths in the snow so I dont disturb the area. Hunt the area expecting them to come downwind. Hunt areas off the beaten path. This time of year everyone and their uncle is shooting at them from their trucks, and they get shy about going too close to the roads. I spend about 30 minutes on a stand. IF I thought I had a chance at a cat there, I would stay longer. Sometimes it is much less. Its a feeling I guess. Last coyote I shot came to the call in easily under 5 minutes. I screwed up... I could have had two. One was behind it by about 30 seconds, and apparently didnt hear or didnt care about the gun shot. Assume where there is one, there is two. Shoot the one you see and go to a pup distress immediately for another 5 -10 minutes. You would be suprised how many more you see sometimes. As far as where exactly to sit, I try to set up with the idea that if I get busted, I am the one getting shot! Weird way of thinking of it, but it forces me to hide well. Sit so you can see, but have your outline broken up. Wear situational camoflauge to blend perfectly. Wear a facemask. Time of day? Wow... anything. I have shot more after 1000 in the morning than any other time, but have seen and called, killed whatever almost around the clock. If you see one at a particular time while scouting, or a landowner sees them around the same time, get in there an hour early and hunt them like deer. Get a good pair of binoculars and hunt that thing hard. There is a ton of guys on here that hunt yotes hard. Get on here and read some of the posts, and some of the articles and be like a sponge- take it all in. It is an addicting sport for sure. I hate to think how much money I have spent on optics, rifles etc, more or less JUST for predator hunting. Never mind the clothes etc. Hollar if you have more questions. Good luck. Nodak is a terrific place to hunt them. I go a few times a year there and always manage a great time despite screw ups. Mark [/QUOTE]
