Not many yotes in Md. But fox hunting is very similar but slower. Same equipment, same procedure. Now in TX and I shoot coyote often, an occasional bobcat too. But fox hunting in Md taught me a lot.

Plenty of yotes in MD. They are a bit skittish and have been taught well how to avoid calls. I usually set up remote from the caller, and catch the ones circling around.
This. They behave differently than their western cousins.

I did not know MD had yotes now. I left MD in 2007 and there were none. In TX they come in fast & hard. I usually see one within 10 minutes. Sometimes they hang up at 100 to 150 yrs but I usually shoot them at about 50 yds. The trick is to be still and quiet.

There are quiet a few coyotes around here. You just have to find them. As others said, they are skittish and good at keeping out of sight for the most part. I have personally seen packs of 4-6 of them at a time where I work in Harford County. A guy I know hunts them, but not regularly. Mainly for control around his farm. Says they don't respond well to calls and are usually targets of opportunity.
They have been here for a very long time. Well before 2007, at least in Harford County.

They are here in MD and have been for a good while. Very elusive and smart. I hunt coyotes and fox. Hear them on a regular basis up in SW Garrett Co at my hunting camp trailer. They are in every county in MD people just do not realize it. Just two weeks ago on private farm land fields we were thinning out the ground hogs by long distance shooting. This was just above the MD line in PA, Felton, York Co. Around 10:00 am a coyote came out running across the field full speed about 200 yds. away. They usually don't put themselves out in the open during the daylight hours. I shot but missed he had the afterburner on. I know I educated him. Well maybe next week when we go again!
