My thoughts are biased and selfish. You can see I am from Iowa and the southwest part where we do have a some coyotes until the pickup hunting groups get out, with or without dogs. You can bet coyote behavior changes when that kind of pressure hits them. It is legal to do it that way but all the other posts have listed the common illegal actions that go along with this style of hunting(?).
Years ago I hunted with a group of older farmers, age 50+, that did a lot of walking drives on foot to guys on stand. Only about 6 people max. and everyone knew where the other person was. We didn't drive much off the road onto private property and always knew the land owners where we hunted. Most of our hunting was on foot. I don't know of any groups today in my area who hunt like this now.
The only methods I use in Iowa are calling and tracking/stalking after a snow. Once the pickup hunters come out, I try to find property that they can't get on and stay out of their way. I had one of their leaders come up to me about 9 AM one morning when I was just getting ready to go into a 1 x 1 mile sq. section of land and tell me they were coming there in about 15 minutes with a dozen pickups and wanted me to be careful if I was going into that section. After looking at my snow camo outfit, I decided to go to another section.
Regards.
