Instead of trying to call them out into a clearcut I go just inside the heavy cover and find a spot where there is some kind of opening or at least some shooting lanes. I have called in a lot of dogs and cats doing this but havnt had much luck actually getting shots at them. I am still working on it though.

coyotes that have cover available will never expose themselves to a open area if they see no reason , the only other alternative you have would be a decoy to draw them out to open ground .
a lot of guys use a ladder for elevation , but i suggest you practice with it before using it in the field , it can be dangerous.

I don't see the actual dogs,just the sign.That need a little more sleuth.
