jim,

thanks you for allowing me the oppurtunity. i have nottried cross wind after more indepth reading im thinking that might be my best option. as a rookie i figure i want to be looking downwind of my decoy( stuffed squirell over johnny stewart predator 2 call). i know it takes time i was just going in with high hopes being sightings just yesterday afternoon. after asking around and a stop to cabelas and standing in predator aisle bsing with others( for an hr) i dont think anyone knows for certain what the heck to do!! but im all ears!!

also how do you upload and image i have a google earth shot i wanted to see if any experienced folk could offer some tips on my hunting grounds!

well first coyote hunt ever today. im pretty clueless and hunting 100 acre plot. I tried an electronic caller (johnny stewart Predator 2) with last day of late season deer yesterday some fresh innards in the field. set up a blind on patch of woods(to my back. Posted property on back side of the field but its all woods and brush. confusing i know but the property is set up like a baseball diamond. home plate being parking and barn area, pitcher mound inner woods and out fields are the fields. again foul terriory is all posted.my plan is to call them over the hill and into the field while im sitting on the edge of the innear woods in a blind. if this makes sense anyone have any ideas of how i should attack? caller in innear woods and set up down wind of that? or should i call into the field and wait on the wood line or get up on the ridge line and let them circle ? or take a lay prone in the field with looking down wind of the caller? i guess i always want to have full view of the down wind. well i guess i know why there were fresh tracks behind us when we were going to lunch. well im an obvious idiot and really thought they were going to go the way i wanted them to or really i was hoping to spot them crossing the field to get down wind. help please anyone.

Looks like you accidentally created a hole new topic with the same questions, bscherer91.
I merged the two together here to help everyone keep track of it all, including you

I'm far from the guru here, but I'm going to throw something out there right off the bat and hopefully the others chime in to help ya out a bit too.
Keep in mind were all different and you might get just as many different replies.

The first thing I would do is throw that "parking lot" right out the window. If people are parking there, and people are walking around conversing there, you have to know the coyotes see that and instinctively associated it with humans and the general direction they will come from.
Make your approach as far away from that place as you can.
