A little bit of reading about coyote habits in several diferent places, mostly magazines like Trapper and Predator caller and Fur fish and game. The rest was by spending a lot of time in the field listening and watching. I used to be a very avid deer hunter. An article in North american whitetail put me onto the travel lane idea. I noticed they often traveled the same type of area as the deer did when they had somewhere to go in a hurry.
I started learning about territories by listening to group howls at sunset then going around late at night and howling diferent places where I thought that group might be.By looking at maps I began to put the peices of the puzzle together. Now I can go out and listen at night or howl for them and go back to the maps checking roads and creeks for boudaries. Then it's walk the ground and see for sure where the travel lane is. After that it's just call the most likely places.
I did some locating at the LBL tonight after sunset. Now I'll go back to the maps and see what drainage they were closest to. I've been finding them not too far from where I hear them howl during the day. Jimmie
