I have been out for coyotes a few times with no luck so far. I have a mojo critter and a wireless remote E caller. How do you experience guys setup? I walk out 50-75 m out then setup both the decoy and caller together then walk back and start calling. Am i on the right track? Got any tips to share if you want ?
Coyote setup question

I know this sounds smart ikey but I don't mean it that way.
Set up in an area where YOU know there are coyotes, not the neighbor, nor the farmer, but where you see tracks in, but not out.
Coyotes move a bunch and I have been known to set up where they used to be, in the past. I try hard never to do that again.
Setup ideally where they are, with a seemingly good(safe to them) place to check out your UPWIND caller/decoy by way of the DOWNWIND.
Depending on season and what call you are using, they will generally come straight in or try and circle downwind of you and your UPWIND caller/decoy position. That puts them closer to you and keeps you between it and the caller/decoy.
I sat up in a new place yesterday with a lake more to my downwind side to prevent any from circling too far downwind, forcing them to enter about a 3 acre clearing/orchard. I caught a quick glimpse in the edge, but he didn't like the odds of entering the clearing, the crows found him and had him skittish. So sometimes it doesn't work out no matter what.
Personally, I think he had heard the joke about "one day a coyote walked into a BAR", a Browning BAR. lol

I never set the caller up any farther out then 50 yards max. I always set the caller up wind slightly from my setup as in most cases they will try to enter to the caller down wind a bit. If your from Ontario Never setup any farther then 200 Max from the woods you expect the action to come from. On setup of such spot try to have the wind blowing out in the field so they have to come to the open to get down wind.
Hope that helps...
