[QUOTE="tt35, post: 457169, member: 25362"] You're on the right track. I really like the fact that you asked about set-up rather than calls. I feel the set-up is the most important aspect of killing coyotes. And, don't feel too bad about your percentages. After a long lay off from calling, my son and I called 19 coyotes and only killed three of them. The three factors that changed the kill percentage were: set-ups, barking coyotes to a stop and using sticks or bipods. Mark B gave really good advice on watching the downwind. Unless you are already exposed to all the coyotes coming from that direction, make sure you can see for 200 yards or more downwind. [B]Make the coyotes expose themselves if they want the wind.[/B] I like some elevation. I don't want to leave a coyote a way to get to my stand without me seeing him. Close doors quietly. Move slooowly. Keep something behind you to beak up your outline. As to sound, I would encourage you to get pretty proficient with the hand calls whether you upgrade to an electronic or not. You can mix in the hand call with the electronic. And,eventually your batteries will die midstand. If you can hand call, you won't have to waste the stand. Sounds like you're doing pretty well for just starting out. Try to learn something form every coyote and every stand. You'll be tearing them up pretty soon. Good luck!
