AP, we treat the 'yote with the same respect the deer. We hunted around for three days on a trophy mule deer buck my wife liver shot. We found him, dead. We do the same thing for a 'yote. We want to find it dead or in a position to be finished off - if we can.
In all our time hunting we tracked two coyotes; one for 4 days, one for two, and two deer; one for three hours, one for three days.
