Wish I could help you but I'm in about the same boat as you. I'm in the Piedmont and hunt Anson and Montgomery Counties. I hear them yelping and barking going in to my stands in the mournings and find plenty of tracks and scat around.
I checked with the Forrestry Service about hunting them on game land and you are welcome to shoot them but you have to be hunting something that is in season and with the appropriate firearm. So during deer season you can carry a centerfire rifle, small game season you can carry a rimfire or shotgun, turkey season you can only carry a shotgun. And if nothing is in season you can only have a .22 pistol with 6" or less barrel.
I wish they would make some way to accomodate predator hunters with a special permit or something, it would benefit the game as I am sure fawns and turkey/turkey eggs are surely high on the menu of coyotes.
I am amazed to see coyotes dead on I85 and I77 in very densly populated areas, I would never have believed it 20 years ago that there were any in NC.
Just wish I had more time to spend in the woods and maybe I could figure out how to get a few of them.
