I've got a little dog and big dog, and the little dog isn't bad. I can get some decent howls out of it sometimes, but the big dog is trash. It sounds like a kazoo about half the time. It pitch breaks way too easily
I was looking around on one of the ky hunting forums and a guy posted a photo of a litter of coyote pups he found. There were five of them, their eyes weren't open yet. He found them in the base of a hollow tree after the bitch ran out. He went back the next day and she had moved them.
I didn't think they were born here until late April early May.

That sounds so early. I also thought they just started dropping them mid April. We did have a few 70° days in the end of January though, (I'm in TN), and I thought they had started breeding early.

The female I killed a couple of days ago didn't even have any signs of being pregnant though, so it's hard to say.
The little dog calls are good . No Straight shooter I retired from it I got too old and beat up after 36 1/2 years of it I just screw up and talk like I still am some times and wish I could still be there doing it more . Just when I get a call from some old friends that I 've worked for and their regular guy is having a hard time with them . But then I know the guy real well that took my place and run with him some times as well . He still calls me when he's got a hard one to deal with as well . We work well together as we think alike . I gave him the 6.5x284 I built when I turned it over to him it ran 8" groups at 1000 yards with the 120 gr Nosler boat tail ballistic tips and 3.5 "groups at 600 yards . You should open them up and look at their uterus to see if they are going to pup or have had pups . That has also been explained here by me . I took a red fox den here on the 3rd of march once and a coyote den the 8th of April . I don't think either of them were more then a couple of days old at the time . It is normally the older females that pup early from the logs I kept it shows that kind of info over the years . Reemty I tried the gigalo thing a couple of times they ran out on me without paying their tab .

The big dog, take the tube off and try it that way. DSheetz recommended that to me and it made a world of difference for me anyway. I thought the same thing as you before I took it off.

I appreciate it. I'll give it a try
Dave you are a great sport for funning and a wealth of coyote/hunting knowledge, thanks for the whole she-bang! 
Great advice all around but I especially can appreciate the tips on how to treat the land and landowners. I came from a ranch background. Honestly we didn't have a bunch of land that was sought after for hunting but I can remember it wasn't Dad's favorite thing to be asked to hunt. He'd just rather not be bothered about it, but also as some were friends he hated saying no. I think that is always in the back of my mind when I'm looking for permission to hunt. Ranchers all have different personalities just like a cross section of any other demographic, and some like to chat about hunting, some like a helping hand and some don't, some want you to stay 1/2 mile from their stock and some aren't worried about it. I literally had one guy many years ago say that if I shot a cow by mistake to come and tell him, don't try and hide it or he'd come after me lol.
Another thing I think helps alot with the land is using small atv's, utv's instead of big heavy trucks. These sandhills are easily tracked up and if you make a rut on a hillside it may start a mini ravine as the water flows. With my quieted down RZR with big tires it barely leaves a trace you were there and I like that alot. Carrying a few fencing essentials and knowing how to use them if needed like Dave said will gain you some points and credibility with ranchers also. Funny, I didn't inherit the cowboy gene but I did enjoy going around the fences in the spring. I was taught that a couple days squaring things away in the spring would save you many hours and headaches all summer long.
