It should be breeding season right now for the coyotes, if I am not mistaken. Which, being a novice at the sport, I probably am mistaken! lol! I am heading out to a couple farms this afternoon and my thought is that I need to start off with a female coyote call. I plan on using it sparingly and not over doing with it. I just don't know what vocalization to start with. Long howl? Challenge? or Yodel? I am borrowing a friends foxpro e-caller and I took it behind my house the other night to get familiar. I used the remote from about 85 yards away and turned on the female challenge. I immediately got responses.
This afternoon, after letting it go for a couple of minutes I plan on going quiet for about 10 minutes or so before switching over to a distress rabbit or something of that nature.
Come on you pro callers! Give this novice some pointers!

I'm no pro but I'd start off with a territory type call or a dominant male

And something that I think made me unable to get any coyote was volume control

I would steer clear of challenge calls and barks. Anything younger than a dominant male or female will be reluctant to come in. They've probably been beat up before, and won't want to feel the wrath again. Female invitation howls and yips are a better option, imho. Starting soft with some distress sounds is not a bad idea either. A quick easy meal, this time of year, is appealing.
The only time I really get into aggressive calls and challenge barks is if I'm receiving it from a coyote.....while I'm calling. Make sure your wind is right, and they're not barking because they've smelled you. If that's the case, the gig is up, and you might as well move onto the next spot. Good luck and send pics!

I played nothing but pup distress and some whines on an open reed the other morning. 2 setups, 3 responses and one upset 7 year old because he missed his first coyote.

I'm no pro but I'd start off with a territory type call or a dominant male I'm not sure about this nfalls. The only one interested in the dominant male call would be another dominant male. Mine already run with one, but again consider the source. I know that my dominant tom decoy hurt me once. I'm all about the Funky Chicken now. It's a good look ...reminds me of myself.  I haven't had any answer to a male call, but female call, yes. I think I'll go out in a week or so. |

But if they are denning up then an encroaching male in their territory would not be a welcome guest.

Defeat was served to this novice by the full time predator. His cunning ways and will to live were greater than my simple wanting of him not to live. I tip my hat to the coyote this day but, we shall meet again.

I have no idea what i did wrong. Never seen or heard a one. Probably none in the area at that time. I call for 10 to 30 min. , if no response , then go somewhere else. |

Coyotes have huge home ranges. Like others said sometimes they are not around, other times it is like fishing. They don't all bite or are hungry. I would try more just after daybreak and especially in the next few days. Cold and snow means they are more focused on food than beeeding.
