Listening to Tory Cook, he seems to always locate his coyotes previous to calling them.
Locating the day before in Nevada isn't really feasible because I'm likely driving 2-3 hours just to get to an area. I don't have the time or gas money to make that trip two days in a row.
I have always made blind stands and it's been hit or miss. I've had really good days, but more often really dry days.
Thinking more about locating though, should I maybe be driving out into my areas and then trying to locate, with the idea that if I get a response I just move in on them right then and there? So instead of blind stands, its a blind area but only making stands if I get a response?
I feel like this opens the doors to missed opportunities on coyotes that aren't howling back. I would likely be traveling further between stands as well. But, in theory, the stands made would be guaranteed coyotes in the area.
Normally I just make blind stands 0.5 to 1.0 miles apart from each other and I just believe that coyotes are in the area due to the nature of how big the coyote population is out here. But more often than not, its a dry stand.
Let me know what ya'll think. Would love to hear from some of you western hunters who have the luxury and curse of BLM land.
