Hi guys, I'm also from Michigan, just south of Lansing. I have not had much luck yet this year either. I shot a nice big male coyote a couple weeks ago, that I am going to have tanned. but due to the weather latley,(frozen ice covered snow) it's been hard to sneak in on anything. I've called a couple in at night but they stayed out just far enought that the 12ga. couldnt reach them. I'm still trying for some red fox, that I called in earlyer in the season and my son missed. They have now got real smart...ha ha. It's nice to talk to other coyote hunter's from my area. Bob
