Just my input on this subject:

I just want to say that it is a lot easier in open fields of central Texas where I was raised than here in the woods and swamps of Louisiana. The videos that I have also seen make it seem a lot easier. You can see the coyote coming from a ways away and are capable to set up for the aproach.
Here with the woods and swamps, you are lucky to see them untill they are on top of you. Then you have to be weary of your motion because you all know how fast a coyote will turn tail and run.

Now I will say that I love mt FoxPro FX3. I have 5 hunts under my belt with the FX3, and 4 coyotes called in. I have had to change the way I set up for them. My sucess is on the rise.

Now what really sucks, Louisiana has a lot of public land managed by the state. You can not hunt predators during any form of deer/turkey seasons. Then you can only hunt them during an open season like squirrel season and only use that calliber allowed during that season. The wildlife and Fisheries will be the first to mention that the lands are over pop with coyotes, but they make laws to hinder you hunting them
What a load of BS!

When you cross that old mississippi river it's a different ballgame!
A shotgun is the best gun for eastern/southern hunting -imo-.Also making stands from an elevated stand work great but are a lot of work.
The rules for hunting public land does hinder us from from grounding more coyotes for sure.Just takes a little more work.
There's one thing about it la. ,ms. ,al. ,fl. ,ga. ,you have alot of public land to yourself after deer season!
Semi-auto 22 mags and 12ga #2 hevi-shot will kill coyotes.ME
 
Just outside of Baton Rouge, but I do most of my hunting in Washington Parish.
Sorry for the late response, been busy with work and vacation
