Default Introduced Young Hunter to Coyotes

I took a young hunter out for coyotes for the first time today. Two minutes after turning on the caller, a coyote came across the field on a dead run, and stopped 50 feet from the young fellow. We were back in the trees, and the young fellow got excited and hit a limb, and I could not get a clear shot because of the trees. The young fellow tried a running shot, no idea if he even came close.
A few minutes later, another coyote is headed in, but slow and cautious. At about 300 yards the coyote held up, then decided to trot off, and I missed a shot at it trying to shoot between the trees.
We moved to another field and set up only to have two trespassers on electric bikes ride up to our set up to investigate. We informed them that they were trespassing, listened to one idiot claiming that there were no signs , and sent them off of the property, with a warning to not return.
While we didn't kill anything, the young fellow is totally hooked on coyote hunting.
