More hunters does NOT mean more removed coyotes!
There is a misconception that if you have multiple people or groups hunt your land, more coyotes will disappear. The fact of the matter is, more hunters typically means LESS coyotes removed.
Coyotes can become call shy quick, meaning the sound of a caller can make them run the other way. A call shy coyote is often referred to as a "Educated Coyote" which is a coyote hunters nightmare. There are many ways hunters can educate coyotes. The more calling pressure they get, the less likely they are to come in and the harder they become to remove.
If you have hunters that hunt your ground, contact them when you are having issues. Chances are, they are waiting for the right wind and situation to hunt, or they have hunted recently and are giving the ground time to recover to prevent educating the coyotes.
