[QUOTE="dstark, post: 1011475, member: 48159"] Here's a rundown of my typical setup: I tend to have the best success early mornings before the sun is up and there's just enough light to shoot. I hike a ways from the truck, not any specific distance, I just like to put a hill or something between me and the truck. Maybe a 2 miles maybe just over the rise. You just don't want them to see you coming. I'm always careful to not skyline myself and sneak in quietly. I use a FoxPro spitfire, and set it out in front of me about 40 yards. I am careful about wind direction when setting up and I'll make sure I can see downwind and that the most likely avenue of approach is upwind of me. I'll usually wait a minute before calling and just watch and see if anything is moving already. I start with low volume and call for maybe 20 seconds at a time then wait a minute or two in between(some kind of distress call usually). I'll slowly raise the volume and call for longer intervals (up to a minute or two) I sometimes use a decoy which I just let run. If I haven't seen anything after say 15 minutes I'll switch the call to either a different distress call or coyote vocalizations. This is something that has made a big difference for me, sometimes when everything seems dead a change of the call will make them charge right in. If I shoot one I immediately switch to coyote distress and sit tight for 5-10 minutes just to be sure there's no one else slinking around. I'll always sit on stand for at least 20 minutes, and sometimes as long as 40 minutes. I'd say on average they'll come in around 15 minutes most often when I change sounds. I have had them come charging in less than 20 seconds and some come in as I was leaving. That's about it. The other thing I'd mention which is probably obvious is that scouting is key, Dogs wander everywhere but if you can set up close to a den or something they've been feeding on they're more likely to come a couple hundred yards to a call then run after something they hear a mile away. Another good bet is to setup on the boundary of their territory and howl. Stay after it, I probably average seeing one coyote for every 4 stands and I only get a good shot on maybe half of those. Keep trying you'll get it. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
