quinn2187,
Take a little time to read some of the info on this forum:
http://www.predatormastersforums.com/forums/ubbthreads.php

Lot's of info and an all around good bunch of guys.

The short version:
* Full camo...on everything.
* Watch the wind direction. Stay down wind or at a crosswind.
* Centerfire weapons, if you're serious about killing. There's no such thing as overkill...dead is dead. :cheeky-smiley-022:
* Motion decoys make a big difference in getting the coyote(s) to commit to the call and it takes their eyes off of you and/or your location.
* Scent control is a must.
* Make your entire approach as quietly as possible...including clicking the doors shut on the vehicle, loading weapons, etc. Metalic sounds will freak out any self respecting coyote.
* If you hunt in pairs, work out some hand siginals...no talking. Human voices are not natural to any wildlife.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57
