My hunt area has large steep rolling crop hills. Also small/low rolling hills. Pic is facing almost due West/slightly SouWest maybe 5-10 degrees. Coyote is near the 1/2 mile fenceline of a 1-square mile land mass/section.
This long range coyote pic also dipicts. How they lay when bedded. Doesn't matter if the terrain is steep with cover. Steep with no cover. Or flattish & open. They lay the same...samo...samo.
BTW, coyote is hunkered down in the snow, between the picked corn rows[Wind is bearing down on his right shoulder & backside]. When they bed on snow. They'll make a few tight spins tamping down the loose snow, then bed down. Facing a down winderly direction.
One main difference between my hunt area vs other's. Is amount of cover. Most canine predators I see, are the ones that bed out in the open.
