I've had more yotes come in quick to the subtle sounds than late in the stand to the loud/shrill sounds. I usually end a stand with pup distress but have yet to have a yote come in to that. If distress sounds aren't working I will try howling only but using the same mentality, subtle to shrill/frenzied. I also raise and lower the volume through out a stand so I'm not just blasting the sound out constantly. Good luck, keep trying. I'm about 1 yote/10 stands.
