[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2030088, member: 91783"] For years we've had people writing and producing videos on how to call coyote that were callers who didn't have to do control work for the most part they were out there for the fun of calling . We did have some who were calling to get the trouble makers , like Craig O'Gorman , Bill Austin and some others . The ones out there for the enjoyment told us that if the coyote didn't show in 15 or 20 minutes to move on to another stand as did the competition callers , but these are the people out there to take what they can in as little time as they can so they are telling us what works for their needs so it is the truth as fits their needs . Now if you take a look at what needs to happen when you are out there to kill the killers it's a little different story . When your doing it to solve a problem you need to slow down and find the problem animal and get them killed as soon as you can . So one of the first things I see that you need to do is be able to read tracks so you can tell where you need to start . Yes I will go in and call first a lot of times but I will stay on one stand for up to an hour and spend more time looking and listening then actually calling .
