I don't know the truth about educating a coyotes... I believe they have short term memory... for instance I had one coyote charge into the call (at a night stand) and stick his head into the speaker looking like he was going to pick it up and take it away... I shot and missed. He ran off approx 100 yards turned around and charged right back in and did the same thing. Wouldn't you know I missed again and he ran off. I was pissed and retreived my stuff and on my way out he was barking at me... I bet I could have called him in again.
