the volume thing does not apply to coyote,within reason of caurse.the volume used is about the same as used for gray fox,they both like it a bit louder.i think sitting a stand for an hour only cuts into your calling time at other stand sites.the only time i sit a stand longer then 20 to 40 min is when the snow is deep(it takes them longer to get to ya)or if i see that one has hung up out of range or in a bad spot for a shot.somtimes a coyote will bust in like a gray other times they may take there time.but in most cases if there going to responed they will be to ya in 15 min or less.what makes the coyote more diffacult to hunt then fox is there abilty to detect anything out of the ordanary,there abilty to sence danger.they are in tune like no other critter in the woods,even more so then a mature buck.you will not get away with many of the things(mistakes) you can get away with when fox hunting.and if the coyote has been educated thats is worked before and expecialy if he's been shot at,all bets are off.you most likly won't out smart or beat him.pay close attention to every possible detail in your set up,wind direction,is your outline broken up,are you skylined,is your truck visable from your stand,did you make to much noise going to the stand and so on.these details must not be over looked if you want to be succsessfull.always set up a stand site so he has to expose himself trying to get on to the down wind side of you.a yearling pup might come in with little regard to wind direction but a mature alfa will never have little regard for anything.don't take him lightly and don't take it personaly when he makes a fool of you.for instance sneaks in behind you and at 20 deet lets out a howl or starts yipping and you had no clue he was there.its one of those go home and change your shorts times....<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
