I am looking for some tips/opinions on hunting pressured spots, that are either hit by first timers a lot or in high traffic areas. Also has anybody had any experience hunting around oil locaitions, ie finished wells with working pump jacks? do the coyotes avoid these areas, or are they just use to the noise and movement, and it becomes part of the back ground. Thanks in advance.

There are no oil rigs in North Dakota!
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead

I shoot many near the oils pumps out here. The noise is nothing to them, they get used to it darn fast. Rabbits like to dig holes near the structures also.

A Many places I've hunted the only place to hide a vehicle is next to the pump or behind the tank. Here we parked by the rig and hiked out to the phone poles in the distance and sat alongside the poles, picked up a little male right between two groups of calves. Saw 5 here but with a 30+mph wind we couldn't get them in close enough for a shot. I high pressured places I like hunt place where the coyote doesn't have to expose himself to get to the sound. Remote E-callers and shotguns work great here. I shoot a combo or drilling here.

Use the pump houses or the jacks to help hide the truck.

Cool, I was curious how it affected them. I assumed that they would get use to them being there, and the noises they make. Thanks for the info.

What AB2506 said. They make great truck hides. I have parked my truck by a pump jack and walked 100 or so yards and called in a coyote numerous times. My truck is not entirely hidden, but I believe the coyote see it as a part of the oil pump jack. And I have parked beside oil tank batteries (group of tanks) and done the same thing. I think the coyotes get used to them.
