Growing up, I rarely missed an episode of GUNSMOKE. Matt Dillon would start every episode, stalking a gunfighter on the dusty streets of Dodge City. While Matt never got off the first shot, he aim was always true.
While calling a coyote may not be a life and death situation like the one that Marshall Dillon faced, the successful predator hunter wants every advantage just as the gunfighters of the old west. Hunt with the sun at your back or in an westerly direction until noon, as the sun starts to descend hunt in an easterly direction. The sun will not only aid your ability to see an approaching critter, it will hinder its ability to see you.
Use the wind to your advantage. Place the electronic predator call upwind so that an approaching critter will circle between you and the caller as it attempts to smell the source of the sound.
