Smart Camo Tips
Almost all your potential preys have keener senses than yours and they will be able not only to see you but smell, hear and feel your presence much before you are aware of them, thus if your camo is focused on defeat eyesight, you have done less
than half the job!
First thing to do is to wash all your clothes before each hunting trip using neutral odor soaps otherwise you will be announcing your presence since your first step on the bushes. Remember to neutralize as much as possible all man made odors using baking soda and try to be as quiet as possible, so your boots, clothes and coat must be "noise free".
With the above in mind, remember also to be prepared for weather changes. On this regard clothes layering is the best solution since you may add or remove clothes layer depending of local climate conditions, however remember to add camo to every single clothing layer, otherwise you will be showing your position when there's need to add/remove layers which are not properly camouflaged.

Wolves, the ultimate predators hunting. Part II
Once the blind is properly set (based on previous scouting and local guides data), it's time to set the bait; usually 200 yards away from the blind, and wait. If there are wolves in the area it won't take long until their show up. After all, during winter a free 
meal is always a great gift! But remember to set your blind far enough to avoid being detected and try to set the bait with the wind on your face to keep your smell away from the bait area.
When the pack is on shooting range it's time to use your rifle. Select an individual, aim and shot!
2. Calls
This technique is not suitable for everyone and only master hunters use it. Usually at dawn, when the wolves pack begins to howl, the hunter begins to make calls too, mimicking wolves vocalizations, in order to catch the pack interest.

Wolves, the ultimate predators hunting. Part I
But if you wish to go out for wolves seriously, there's some basic tips you should know in order to increase your success chances but consider that at the beginning wolves hunting could be frustrating because the success rate is the lowest among all hunting
types.
Of course we are talking about shooting a wolf instead of traps using, something totally different and out of the reach of this post.
When you wish to shoot wolves it's mandatory to move to the most remote of the remote areas since these predators love lonely regions, far from human contact and with large territorial extents just for them; in fact if you are planning to hunt wolves in US, it will be necessary a trip to the most remote regions of Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin and Wyoming, the only 5 states where wolf hunting is allowed.

Coyote hunting, when a predator becomes the catch
On this regard a combination of calls and distractions are required to attract a coyote 
towards your position but still being out of its sight.
Calls are the key to attract a coyote towards you but such an elusive creature won't come easy; in fact, despite calls, a coyote will be patrolling the area from an elevated position and won't come towards you until it feels safe, thus to remain undetectable is the key for success.
However considering you are chasing another predator, a little bit of help will be useful; hence the use of movement decoys will give you an edge when chasing coyotes.

The skinning knife, a hunter's essential tool
Once you have choosen your knife proper size it's time to choose the blade. There's
two types available, folded and fixed blades. The first one could be more convenient and easy to carry on, but it's less durable and not intended for very hard jobs; on the other hand fixed blade knives are more robust, reliable and long lasting making of such knife type the best choice especially when hunting on remote areas where there's no room for mistakes.
Many hunters decide to use both types, one as the main knife (usually a fixed blade) and the other as a backup, just in case something happens to the first one; after all you don't wish to be unable to skin your game because of a broken blade after chasing it for two or three days!
