When this debate comes up, there are always those that say, "I've spotted coyotes when I'm walking to the stand." I don't doubt this, but how many coyotes spot you while your glassing? My main goal after I shut the truck door is to get my butt to the stand as quickly and quietly as possible. I will say that I've only called in a few dozen coyotes since I started 5 years ago, but I try to travel as light as possible. That's a whole different topic, but all I take are the eberlestock mini-me with foxpro and decoy, seat (back problems, I couldn't live without this), a couple mouth calls and my BCM AR15 or the SCAR 17. I never take binos or bipod or sticks. I figure if it's in range, I will see it moving. I hunt in NW Iowa.
