Quick Answer
Yes, using multiple stands in one session can be effective, especially when targeting coyotes, as it allows for increased visibility, better wind control, and more opportunities for a shot.
Choosing Multiple Stand Locations
When setting up multiple stands for a coyote hunt, it’s essential to select locations that offer different advantages. For example, placing one stand near a food source, such as a bait pile or a deer feeder, can increase the chances of encountering a coyote. Meanwhile, positioning another stand downwind of the food source can provide a better shooting opportunity as the coyote moves away from the bait. Ideally, choose 2-3 stand locations within 100 yards of each other, allowing for effective communication and coordination between hunters.
Stand Placement Techniques for Coyotes
Coyotes are highly adaptable and can be challenging to predict. To increase the effectiveness of multiple stands, consider the following techniques: (1) place stands near natural funnels, such as narrow trails or gates, where coyotes are more likely to travel; (2) use scent trails or coyote lures to attract them to the stands; and (3) set up stands with a clear shooting lane, taking into account the wind direction and potential escape routes. By applying these techniques, hunters can increase their chances of success when using multiple stands.
