Fourth one on this hill, fertilizer spreader was there when I got in view, he spread up the hill to the coyote, then stopped, he took off before I drove up.
I caught two mangy coyote here, now two good ones too.
This one has good fur.

I took wet coyote urine dirt and put it on clump where I applied Derricks gland lure

Nice! If you don't mind explaining, could you describe what encouraged you to put a set there? Did you find sign there or was it something else? I ask because in your pic it doesn't look like there's many land features to key on.

I shot a coyote long time ago, it went a ways due to where it got hit.
It stopped near this hill, I figured if it went that way to escape then it probably was a place it traveled to.
The set is on the highest hill for a mile or more, a grass strip comes up to about fifty feet from the trap, the trap is up wind of the end of the grass.
The grass comes up from several pastures and a creek, forest to the north for cover.
Coyote like the top of some hills, I can't remember how many have died here over the years.
I think the driveway that comes off the road points at this hill, I think they cross the road in that area, why they like it.
The same farm is on the south side of the road too, I usually catch some there, not this year

Yup , and I think sometimes coyote might gather on a hill to howl, I see lots of turds on some hills

Nice catch we might get 2-4 inches this weekend things might pick up.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

In other words, you have experience with this particular spot? I'm very green, and when it comes to location, sometimes it seems that once you find "the spot" it will continue to produce more often than not, right?

Yes, some spots I might think that's going to be a good one, and it isn't.
You can look at terrain and see spots coyote should travel or visit, or hunt
