Close coyote hunting

Foster,in response to your statement about the coyotes answering back with yips and howls etc. and not showing up I can say with a good deal of certainty that you have alerted them of your presence,this has happened to me serveral times.That yip and bark response your getting is the coyote alarm cry and he is telling you and every other coyote in the nieghbourhood that all is not well.Some where in your set up procedure something has alerted them, they may have seen you walk in,they may have heard your vehicle,door slamming,talking,chambering a shell into your rifle,something you have done has set them off.A short while ago while walking in to set up we spotted a coyote on the edge of the bush we were going to call,unfortunately he saw us to.We sat down and called knowing we had no chance at him but thought we might get a another one to come,bad decision,as soon as we called the yipping and barking started from the coyote we had seen. When that starts pack up and move cause they are not coming.I have never had a coyote come in who beforehand had been yipping and barking.I have had numerous coyotes answer the howler and come in but its a totally different vocalization.See if you can pick your self up a good tape on coyote talk and listen to the howls and hoots they make.I hope this has helped in some way.Just a thought on setting up,we think nothing of walking in a half mile or more.Calling will yield poor results if you have an aversion about getting more than a hundred yards from your vehicle.
