[QUOTE="BoomFlop, post: 1609542, member: 55851"] How far to park from your calling spot would depend on the amount of traffic on the road. A back country road with very little traffic is different than a country road with a lot of traffic. Park far enough away that you think you can call without alarming then too much and keep the vehicle out of sight. No real answer to this question. Trial and error. Howling at night to get a response is just to let you know coyotes are in that area. You could call them in the morning or they could be 10 miles away, but is good to know they live there. Give it a go. I have found over 15 miles an hour here in Wisconsin makes calling very hard. We have a lot of woods and hills to through so they can hear the call, wind just makes it tougher. My suggestion would be to use the wind to get closer to where you think they are and thus getting them to hear your call. I prefer to call cross wind of where I think the coyotes are. I also suggest having as much visibility down wind as possible. The stronger the wind speed, the further they tend to circle down wind. With a rifle, I’d get it out closer to 50-75 yards personally. Getting them to put into an opening is ideal, but not always possible. Wetlands/swamps are full of coyotes because the rabbits and pheasant live there. In the Midwest and eastern areas, every patch of woods, fence line or brush can hold coyotes. That is what makes it tougher for us to call as they are not as predictable as the western coyotes. My opinion. You’ll notice there is not “answer”. My suggestion is make as many quality stands as you can where you believe coyotes are or have seen them in the past. In my experience 20 minutes (30 at most) is my max stand length. You will have days where you will call a coyote or 2 on every other stand and times where you make 40 stands and don’t call a single one in. Keep after them! Good luck! Steve [/QUOTE]
