Once again tonite insted of the run in, I had a yote sneak up the hedge row right into my stand... About the time I realized I had a coyote that close I started to go for the rifle and she pegged me. She got out to about 150 yards, I howled, she droped... 22-250 spinal tap, just as the doctor ordered
Fur still seemed O.K, Here in north central Illinois, when should I give up on them because the fur is completely gone out....

Thanks Brad...
I thought you would have the answer Brad...
On the Hedge Row problem, is this the nature of the beast in the more farm landscape, Or is this a product of Late season Spooks......

Yote Zappa i would say that a big factor is that your not inside their comfort zone. In the farming areas there is a lot more roads and they are spaced closer. The coyotes know where every road is and they aren't going to be real bold coming to call across the wide open on the run into an area that they are spooky of. The time of year could also be a factor though.
Jamie is right i know of guys that watch the fur extremely close and a lot of them quit calling and trapping by the first of Feb or even the 15th of Jan. When it comes to leaving for seed and "farming" you local population i would recommend reading up on some of the heavy hit ADC areas and what the populations do from year to year
