There is plenty of public land out there and most of it has coyotes on or near it. Head out on a scouting trip and if you find some good sign on public land hunt it. Then come back on the site and tell us all the good spots you've found and I'll tell you a couple of mine.

Pick up a Washington Atlas and Gazatteer and some public lands maps and just go out and hunt.

I was out last Saturday in the fog but I got smoked. I only did 3 stands and it was the first time out there for me. I'm going back out Sunday for a rematch! Sign everywhere and saw one out in the field. This was medical lake and Cheney area. I have been getting yotes around my house in chattaroy as well. I'm in a small dry spell right now. I think the wildfire caller I started with wouldn't get too loud and I was more successful with it. Now I realize that I just have to turn down my fusion so I don't scare them off. Fun learning.
I was out last Saturday as well and the fog ended the hunt real quick, got some howls back not more than 300-400yards away but with the fog as thick as it was couldn't get a shot off. I used to use the spitfire and have recently purchased a primos alpha dogg, paired with the mojo, a very deadly combination. I like to start off with a medium range howl for a few minutes and if I don't get a reply I switch to some form of rodent distress on low in case they are close by, then I'll turn up the volume and change the distress sound. Though I've come to learn it's different with each area you call, as to what they will come in to. Makes for a new experience everytime we go out!

There is some HEAVY pressure out in that area.
There are a LOT of predator hunters in Spokane, and surrounding area, and most if not all know where all that public land is. That's ok, I enjoy predator hunting too, and understand others loving the sport.
If you hunt those areas, be prepared for a bunch of educated dogs. If they see you in any way, or hear a sound they will be gone. Don't think you are getting into a "new" area, EVER. You will be hunting Hard-learned dogs, that will be hard to call.
I've spotted those dogs at 1600 yards, they call back to me, and run the other way. I've walked in for hours, been in the middle of those areas, most likely where not too many folks get, and still have the same result.
Those areas might be best on a snowy day, using the "Spot-and-Stalk" method, not doing any calling at all.
Walk in, NO TALKING, no not None. Keep your eyes PEELED, use bino's, and sneak within range-if you can. Otherwise you're in for a lot of frustration.
That's a part of predator hunting too.
GOOD LUCK!
