wmig2,
More than likely, you'll get skunked more times than not. Generally, this is the case across the board for most guys.
I've had my luck, and it's kept my interest peaked. I guess I really loved to hunt coyotes a lot, because my first one came after a couple of years of hunting. You really gotta love it to stick with it that long I think.
Many go out with the misconception of nailing them right off, or coming home with two or three on that first trip. If they do nail one or two, depending on the local populations of them, they'll usually get the wrong idea about "how easy" it is to hunt them, and maybe why others seem to have so much trouble getting them.
On the other hand, guys like me that just don't seem to connect, ask themselves "what they're doing wrong" because they aren't connecting. I did that as well. But I also knew that I wasn't really doing anything wrong. Maybe some slight hunting modifications, but I had been hunting fox for many years prior to trying specifically for coyotes without seeing a lone coyote stroll in to my intended fox calling. I figured there was some differences there between them, and I just had to educate myself on "why".
Giving it an "honest or realistic effort", and actually knowing what that is, or what to expect, is key to preparing yourself.
Take care,
Bob
