Could a full time coyote hunter compete with a longline trapper?

Imo no ,,, Reason 1 can not hunt 24 7 like a trap can Reason 2 can not hunt in multiple place at once. And the list goes on

I was thinking calling. Here in NY we have some pretty liberal predator hunting laws. I think if a guy were to play his cards right he might at least keep up with the trapper once the snow flies (usually around thanksgiving here) But he’d have to have an awefull lot of locations because how many times can you call the same spot in one season?

Weather can create much more problems for a caller. Wind alone can take many days and nights out of play.

trapping is for serious removal, hunting them is just for fun. No way even a great coyote caller could compete with a half decent trapper with a couple dozen traps.

Traps work 24/7. Can’t hunt that much. One trapper can run dozens of traps targeting dozens of animals at the same time, one hunter can maybe call in and kill a triple at best. No way calling could ever be more effective than trapping.
