Now my calling sequences today went like this. I would open the set up with a few lone howls wait a few minutes then do a coyote pair, or duet on the foxpro and chime in with the diaphragm. After waiting about 5 minutes I would do a rabbit in distress with my diaphragm for about 5-7 sequences calling from anywhere 1-2 minutes with a 30-60 second break. Then after that I went to blue jay in distress for about the same and if nothing yet try to end with some pup distress. Usually I will be on stand from about the 30-40 minute mark.
I will be back after them next week. Still a learning curve but I pay attention to all the information thrown my way and apply it.
I have also thought about getting my climber and using that. Place the call about 40 yards up wind of me and be about 15 feet in a tree and see if that would help. Because I can easily see farther in a tree than on the ground. Have you ever done that?
I prefer to stay on the ground. nothing more fun then calling a coyote within a foot ,where you could literally bash em with a bat if quick and brave enough. plus I am basically lazy and prefer not to pack a bunch of equipment ,I can do without.
of coarse I am in idaho . visibility is not in most cases a problem. I have thousands of square acres to hunt at my disposal and fairly low hunting pressure on predators so probably not the same conditions you face.
