Location- they need a place to go to

I like that pond location for sure.

that first location is very similar to what I got on top- almost looks like an actual video of one of my locations

for me, it goes down into valleys and coulees...what separates these type of locations for you?

Not sure I am catching your questions completely. All three videos ARE the same location showing some of the coyotes that were caught while I was set up there. The pond is on the lower face of the end of a relatively short running bluff. Where my truck is parked at the top is a field road following the ridge in. It falls away in the other direction into a sloped ag field for a couple hundred yards before falling into a steeper wooded draw area. There is a large timber patch with a couple of small creeks here and two confinement buildings which have dead stock around them from time to time but no established dead pile. The pond seems to provide a focal point for them to come to and do whatever it is they feel the need to do. A couple of carcasses placed below the dam keeps them milling. I tried on top last year also but had no success there. This pond is where they are coming to.

so what is around THAT? in other words- you have a draw point, with its surrounding habitat/draw point exists- and down the road is another- but I'm assuming its not continuous- that is. different habitat is between these locations areas. Whats the habitat like between the locations spots (this one, the one down the road, etc)-

Oh, O.K.

Thick and Chewy you know!

This particular area is rolling hills for the most part. The tops and less steep side hills are farmed. The steeper, rougher ground is pasture. There are some sizeable (for here) timber plots, maybe a hundred or so acres in size. Lot's of smaller woodpatches and ditch/creek systems. Most is gridded by the road system on mile squares. Some of the rougher goes two miles but most a mile. This in itself breaks up the continuous habitat of which you speak.

Now if I move down by the river, it becomes somewhat more of what you describe. Continuous, unbroken timber that might run for several miles at a time. There are fingers coming up into the flat prairie/ag areas and a mixture of tillable and pasture grounds. In this country there seems to be innumerable possible locations to pick from. The saving grace is that it is relatively limited in depth, very long but not nearly as wide. Road access is not nearly as good with VERY few roads going down to or actually crossing the river.

I get the impression your coulee country consists of high bluffs along the river system with very deep ditches/draws leading out towards the flatter agricultural lands with open ridges between the draws.

yes, that's exactly how my country is except on the western fringes where it morphs into true great plains type stuff

lots of your country looks very similar to at least the locations I set up
