Calling info?

for whatever it's worth i can vouch for the fact that rick's calls don't stink or taste bad. they sound great, but no stink for sure.

Stape,

I completely understand how frustrating it can be.

It's a good thing you haven't been spotlighting, night hunting doesn't open until midnight tonight.

If you get one howling in front of you, you have a few plans of action.

Mimic the coyote, give him back what he gives you.

Go straight into "aggressive" threat barks and howls, trying to antagonize him into fighting.

Do some pup whines, the response might be one of aggression or of protection.

Go after it. Crawl, get into a deep draw, or even do "the ugly cow" (cover yourself with a camo net, stay low, and walk in), if you have a partner one stays and talks smack and the other goes on assault.

BUT often times, especially during the daytime, if a coyote is vocal, it could be that he busted you.

There is no hard and fast "best time". But for myself, between 2:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon stands out... but I'm not a morning person.
Most coyotes, in most places they are hunted, are called in the daylight.

Hey, looking back at my comment about the call, I am the jerk! Sorry! Didn't mean to talk smack...

Creating something like this, or anything, is art work. When you have the guts to create anything for others to look at, you are the brave one and we all benefit. It does take guts to stick our neck out and display what we have created for all to look at, and touch, and criticize. I had a construction business for ten years, and was always worried about my image. Had a roofer pee on a rooftop once, in a fancy neighborhood. I very nearly threw him off the roof. I know I scared the living *censored* out of him. I also retained $500 of his paycheck, sort of a little reminder of how we do not risk jeapordizing someone elses reputation regarding a project. My name on the work, not his. He pees on my job, and I am going to kick his ass.

So, sorry about the lousy not so funny comment!

They will come in at anytime during the day.  Did you howl at him and it responded?  Did you do distress and have it respond with a howl?  Did you hear one coyote howl or multiples?  Did you have to expose yourself to get into calling position?  Was the coyote downwind, crosswind, or upwind?  Were you skylined, camoflauged, sitting in the sun or the shade? 

There are countless reasons why it may have not responded.  The more info we have the better we can help.
