Well you could do like my Dumb *** brother did and go right to the den and drag the pups out of it. He had no idea if the mother was in the den or not he just goes up to this den and makes alot of noise going to it then when he gets there crawls half way down the whole with nothing but his legs stick'n out and starts dragging pups out of the den.

Not real bright - if you ask me - but then he got 3 pups out of the den and the mother never did come around while we were there.

I don't know what kind or regs you have for trapping as far as snares go but they would work real nice near a den. Otherwise I would get a road kill deer and drag it up there and make a gang set around the carcase in about a 10 ' diameter circle and see how that works if the calling doesn't do it. momma coyote needs food for the little ones and she isn't going to pass up a free meal - put the set about 30 yards out from the den maybe even a little farther and try not to leave any scent (human) or you wont have much luck. Also when checking the set make sure you only go to the set if neccessary - check from a distance with a pair of Binocs - the less the coyote thinks you're around the better and believe me she will know when you are close to her den especially if she has pups.

Good Luck !
