If you happen to try that new liquid nu-tan stuff I’d like to know how it does. Heard good things.
Amen, critters look farther than they are.
Good cover, great camo, know the wind, use calls not sold in every local store, scouting coyote areas well in advance, scout more areas than you can hunt in 4 or 5 days. Get your permission well in advance. Park away from your stand site, walk in. Know your area, use appropriate firearms. Let the farmers know your truck and when you may be there. Set up draw stations to your advantage. Go hunting, go hunting, go hunting. Learn from your mistakes, always ask yourself why, what if? The best scent, is no scent. The best movement is no movement. Best of luck.
Good luck in the mornin
The first two suggestions don't apply near as much when hunting with thermal because darkness is your cover and camouflage. Wind is very important. Limit your movements. Be prepared for coyotes to come from a direction that you don't expect. I've had coyotes appear out of nowhere 20 yards behind me.
Be warned, you're starting down a rabbit hole that can get expensive. Get a good tripod. I started out with trigger sticks, and my partner still uses them. I prefer the type that is in the pic I posted up thread. It makes it easier to scan with my scanner, spot a coyote, drop my scanner, and get on my gun. A scanner is as important as a thermal scope.
Okie dokie, you’ll have to forgive me I’m new at this.
I wasn't being critical, I was just pointing out that it's not as important at night. During the day, it's much more important, but darkness evens the playing field. You can get away with a lot more at night than what you could during the day.
For example, I walk in quietly and stand in the middle of a bare field. As long as I'm not winded, I'll get coyotes with 30 yards of me. Typically, my shots are 100-175 yards, but that's because of the gear that I'm using. However, during the day, there's no way you will get coyotes anywhere close to you if you're standing in the middle of an open field.

No problems, I do like your set up. Something we could have only dreamed of when the coyotes came in and started pushing the fox out. But we had no need to kill them, there was no market for them at the time.
Heck there’s no market now, but calving season is coming.
If I’m coyote wacking I’m in full camo 12 noon or midnight. But that’s just me. Gets a lot of funny looks at the coffee stops along the way after dark.
