Hi Ray,

If he was hunting them, he may have been hitting different areas, therefore 
different coyotes.. also, likely if you thinned them in one area, they would 
"fill in" from the edges to take advantage of the extra food (the neighbor 
coyotes would expand their range).

I knew a guy up here who did that years ago, but it took some skill and 
learning.....as I recall.....biggest key was where you set up (location, 
location, location)......you had to guess which direction they were likely 
to come from......arrange a spot where they couldn't see you... and where 
they have to come upwind towards the sound across an open area but within 
range (they always want to approach from downwind and scent what is upwind, 
and then circle around the prey at the end - preferably under cover)..

Any that sense you in any way (detect sounds that aren't wounded rabbit, see 
you or scent you) would be long gone and would never fall for that again - 
but you may not even know that they had been there and left.... so some 
percentage kept coming in (and likely some percentage kept staying out).

Frank
