The dumb ones are dead guys , Calling from now on until spring is going to take some education unless you have some isolated ground that no one else can call on .
I did exactly what Wade was talking about for a number of years.
whenever i saw a coyote out in a field or in the sage i would get a ways away from it and howl and watch its responce.
I re comend this to any and all of you .
Its a learning tool and you will learn allot about howling and what kind of howls to make .
You wont howl in many at first , but if your a good student you will in time figure out what works and what sends them in the other direction with their tail between their legs .
Howling is an art , calling in and working coyotes is an art.
Time in the field will answer your questions, and just when you think you have it all figured out you'll hit a three week dry spell LOL.
I could write a book on what i have seen and learned about howling in coyotes , it takes allot of hours and allot of patience and for me has had limited success.
I think anyone who claims to have a Hugh responce from coyotes just by howling them in is very well optimistic

)
its just like all things that apply to calling right place , right time , right animal .
always remember when using a howl on a stand always watch the down wind
