For nighttime hunting, are there any animals whose presence indicates that no coyotes are nearby? So if you see one, you are out of luck for seeing a coyote anytime soon?
Deer?
Rabbit?
Raccoon?
Thanks!

Mountain lions. Coyotes and cats don't play together well.

Get an electronic caller with a locator call on it. I can usually strike them up every night just from my yard.

No big cats up here, but quite a few feral cats, and a RARE bobcat
What about cotton tail rabbits? Seems like they hear well and should be terrified of coyotes?

The short answer to your question OP is: No.

The more game you see the more likely there is a coyote around waiting to grab something up.

For a budget but also reliable call, try to catch a Foxpro spitfire on sale at Cabela's. They were normally priced at $199.99, I got mine for $99

if you see lots of red foxes I think they lack coyotes to prey upon them.  reds vanish = coyotes moving in.  greys can climb trees to be safe.

Coyotes survive by making sure other animals (their prey/food) don't know they are around.....

So short answer nope, no way to tell.

The last coyote job I did I pulled just as many foxes as coyotes. However it was an urban green zone and not rural property.

Foxes eat a lot of insects so they have a ready food source that they can use instead of meat. Coyotes will eat bugs too but are larger predators so will typically go after more meat sized meals.
They don't compete as much for the same food as some might think.
