If its legal to hunt at night, try that, it's fun and exciting and you can hide yourself better. But you will need a red light. Otherwise hunt dusk and dawn, in full camo regardless of the time of day, and scent control is critical. Doesnt sound like you need a lot of power from the call based on where u hunt. I usually start out with vole squeaks, run the call for a minute or so and kill it for 5 minutes. Look with your eyes, don't turn your head. Start quiet and work up in voulme. Try rabbit, squirrel, bird distress calls, whatever is local to the area. If no response to food, try pup distress calls. No need for a million presets, 10 or so will do. If these coyotes get called to alot, keep a preset thats out of the ordinary, such as chicken in distress. I have had coyotes come charging in while turkey hunting with a box call, yet have never known a coyote Hunter to use a turkey in distress call, but it makes sense. Set up with your gun on sticks and in your shoulder. Yotes circle downwind of the call, generally, but it's hunting so anything can happen. You probably picture yourself drilling one with a centerfire from hundreds of yards away, but don't forget shotguns are great coyote guns, especially in the Eastern woods, as the action can get up close and personal really fast. Sorry, just kind of spit everything that came to mind quickly. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.
