[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 358148, member: 340"] Like most other critters this time of year, with the snow we've had, coyotes will be in the deeper cover. Also like other critters, due to little habitat, there are relatively few in the RRV, and the ones that are here are pretty educated. Seems like there's always a wave of new coyote hunters this time of year. Unfortunately, most of them are just out there long enough to dick it up for everyone else before they give up. If you do enough research, and (preferably) have someone show you the ropes, maybe you won't be one of those. I could write a book on what not to do, but here are some of the most important tips: 1. The wind trumps all. If it's not going to work for a set, don't try to force it. You want it in your face. You can make a cross-wind work if you have someone to guard the downwind. They will almost always try to circle downwind. 2. Get out of the truck and walk. If you try to drive too close to your set, they will not cooperate. 3. Do not skyline yourself. You need some cover behind you, or they will pick you out. -- Consider the expected approach. For example, if you are near the top of a hill, you will still be skylined to them if they are approaching from a low angle (like through a creek bottom). 4. Start with low volume on the caller for the first few minutes. They may be closer than you expect. Too much volume will blow them out. 5. If you see one coming, ease back on the volume as they approach. 6. When you're on a set, keep any movements slow and limited, but also keep your head on a swivel. They sometimes come from directions you don't expect. Thats all for now. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
