Coyotes are really skittish, I find. I don't use a call to lure them in, so I've never taken one under 150 yds, they come in too close and catch wind, and BAM, they're gone. They're also nocturnal, unless something gets thier attention. Under a full moon, they stand out a bit though. My suggestion, sit out on your back porch one night with a set of binocs and wait. don't move too much, and get comfy, and you might end up seeing a couple. It takes a lot of patience to hunt them without a call though. If I can get my hands on one before next week, I'm going to. Calls pull them in a lot faster then waiting does. I see a lot of Foxes in my nieghborhood at night, and I live in central Colorado Springs. Amazing how animals adapt to our presence without us even knowing it.
