Better go get `em while the gettin's good. Sullivan had an article in FFG a couple years ago titled "Canines Prime Early and There's No Need to Wait", or something similar.
In my limited experience, my early season (even October) coyotes sell for as much or more than ones I catch in December-January. It's true they aren't fully prime, but they aren't rubbed, kinky, or matted, either.
I always try to wait until raccoon season opens up but I sometimes get so eager I can't wait that long. But I'm going to be laying out my line this weekend.

I have several properties like that also where I'm not allowed to be there until the deer hunter go home.
Most of the properties I can trap now, there are no deer hunters on it because it's not good hunting land - just a crop field with a brushy ditch line. I have several properties where I trap that border deer hunting properties, though. I've had deer hunters sic the game warden on me because they don't like me trapping on properties next to the ones they are hunting on. Frankly, I don't like them hunting on the properties next to where I trap, either. But I never considered calling the warden and telling him something suspicious is going on. Some deer hunters really annoy me.
Right now, my problem is that several of my trapping grounds have the crops cut and are likely going to be chisel point plowed sometime soon. I don't want to put traps out in fields that are about to be savaged by a big, green, monster!

Like you I don't want to set and have traps ran over. Hope they get that corn out soon.

I set out my line on Saturday and connected on one opossum in bucket set and one small tuft of coyote fur in a 550. Might have been chest hair or foreleg hair.
I haven't check sets yet today but probably won't be much running tonight with the wind and blowing snow/rain.
Thankfully, I think I have all my sets pretty well freeze proofed.
