Playing the wind is #1 when hunting coyotes......

Are you hunting day or night?

First light are good times. Grey fox pup in distress works well.

Just remember, unless you are in a rifle zone, you cant hunt them with a centerfire rifle during deer season.

in my exp the wind is the most crucial thing. They are more keen on the wind than deer. go all out wash all yur cloths in scent free detergent. spray yourself down even use scent waffers. i have had better luck in the middle of the woods rather than fields. Its hard to get them to cross fields. at least for me.  They are also very smart if you get one to come in make your shots count because if you dont you just educated him and he will educate the others.

You can do all the "scent free" stuff you want,in the end it's a waste of time when hunting coyotes...

And when I said playing the wind I didnt mean having the wind in your face all the time either...
