Lol,  I think your over thinkin, just alittle.   Sounds like a lot of work to me.  Just get out there and get lots of stands in!

It’s amazing how many guys over think coyote hunting. I went 3 for 3 Sunday morning and not one stand was there enough sage brush to hide in. Hell the first one I killed at 30 yards and I was sitting skylines on a knob in the wide open. Came right to the call.

Sit still, keep the wind, learn to call. It’s almost too easy

It's only over-thinking if the goal is to kill coyotes regularly without unnecessary mental and physical effort, which is not everyone's idea of the best and most enjoyable use of their time. 

If the thinking and exploring possibilities is in itself enjoyable and part of the joy of the process, then exploring a notion like this one, even if only as an idea, is part of the fun and therefore worthwhile.

Oddball example:

Someone might be curious about whether it's possible to spear hunt coyote, and if so, how someone might actually pull it off. 

Now, that's nuts, it would be an enormous amount of work and probably you'd never succeed if you tried. 

If your goal with hunting coyotes is something along the lines of to kill coyotes without a lot of unnecessary work and effort, which is a perfectly good way to approach the thing, then the idea of spear hunting coyotes is completely pointless and crazy, and you might think the whole notion foolish. 

But if your goal with hunting coyotes is something along the lines of learning about yourself, and coyotes, hunting, history, and life, and along the way to kill some coyotes as a way to keep your activity grounded and directed, then the question of spear hunting coyotes might be pretty interesting.

See where I'm going with it?

In everything in life, for me, half the fun is mulling it over, exploring the possibilities, being inventive, and trying new things.  That's just me, I realize, but it's sometimes other people too.  That's okay I think.

Go nuts. My goal is to kill coyotes so that’s what I do. I’d be real carful walking around the brush dressed like a deer making animal noises. Lotsa guys shoot first and look second. Some real dumb asses out there year round...

I've had a coyote came to me from over 400 yards away.  I was walking on an open hillside with orange on.  I set down when he was at 250 yards, let him get to 150 yards.  DRT.

used to be a guy on predatormasters that claimed to wear a deer head hat, sit out in tall grass and call with just the head sticking up. He said he was on private land or leased land.

I saw this in Cabelas. Worth a try on turkey.  The places I see the big gobblers is in the middle of open fields.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.
