me when I call I start off real low on volume
let it run for about 2 -3 minuytes then shut it down and wait about 10 or 15 minutes
I then start again low, for about 2 minutes, then wait about 5, then go alot louder and repeat
I tend to sit at spots for about 35-45 minutes then move about a 1/2 mile or more and repeat
I have a fox pro, with the deocy on the caller, with wireless remote, I like to place my caller out about 150 yrd or more from me
way too many times they will circle me, and still be behind me before they come it
its hard getting decent spots up my way to do this, I try to work power lines, and farm fields, of hunt mountain sides, and call on one side expecting things to be on the other side
I only rifle hunt them now
and most of y shots are 10 yrds 99% of the time
with a few odd one's I just get lucky I think and happen to be close when I call, and theer right there
anything that doesn't happen to come in to me in the first 5-7 minutes, always ends up being way out there
many times with snow on the ground I can see them of and on at 400-500 plus yards
and most times they hang up at about 250, really over looking things
again, there super smart critters

if you have time to and its legal, you cn try picking up a few road kills
and pre baiting an area too
if your creative
and again legal
you can also livve box trap a rabbit or a chicken
and stake them out as live decoys, then you get natural scent and decoy in the mix
same goes for road kill small critters, that ain't busted up too much
I prefer to try to be far away as I can and make the snot with yotes, shooting far ups your odds of getting one
but I don't recommend shooting past what you practice at and can do in field shooting
I carry a range finder when I coyote hunt, and maybe use it more than in deer season too!
many strores also sell coyote scents now too, never tried them, but sure they could work, if all things line up, just like in deer season with deer scents
but I am not a big coyote hunter, I only really hunt them now in contests
and rest of the time let them walk
