Just started coyote huntin, got a cheap electronic call. Went to a 120 acre prop sunday with TONS of cyote sign, more yote trcks than deer tracks, all i called in was a grey owl!! Had a lotta fun but just a little dissapionted! HOW LONG DO I SIT BEFOR I START CALLIN? FOR HOW LONG DO I CALL ONCE I START? HOW LONG DO I WAIT AFTER CALLIN? i want to figure out how to do this in the worste way!!!! ive never eaven came close to callin one in and i already love doin this!! any and all help appriciated!!! thanks!

I start callin' as soon as I sit down. No reason to wait. Some say to "let the woods settle down", whatever that means. IF you got in your spot without the coyotes knowing you're there, then sit and call. If the coyotes know you're there, they aren't coming anyways.
Call off and on for at least 15 minutes. If you don't have lots of places to hunt, then by all means, sitting longer won't do any worse than kill some time.
Once you've called off and on for at least 15 minutes, you might sit another 5 quietly, something might slip in. Most of us have lots of places to call, so it becomes a numbers game. The more stands that can be made in a day equals better chances of calling something in by moving on as soon as you're done calling each stand.

Biggest thing is to make certain that you have the wind in your favor. Make absolutely sure that the wind isn't in a direction that a coyote can come and smell you and leave without being seen.

j76, coyote hunting is by far one of my biggest addictions. it takes a LOT of time, trial and error, and learning from what you do everytime you hunt them. practice in all your free time producing different sounds with your calls. look up as much as you can online about hunting them. go to primos.com and under tv&video and click on truth clips and look thru ALL of their coyote hunting clips. see what calling sequences they use. watch how they sit and prepare before calling. watch what kind of cover they hunt for. you're doing a lot right for a starter. looking for signs. i like to sit in COMPLETE camo. you can't fool their eyes. also make sure to sit AS STILL AS POSSIBLE AND MAKE NO NOISE WHATSOVER. you could have a coyote sitting within 50yds from you and not even know it, so it is CRITICAL to always be moving as slow as possible when glassing for them. try to move your head as little as possible and try to look around with your eyes only. always start off with a quieter call. you don't want to be blastin' your call if there's a dog bedding down right next to you. stick with animal distress calls before you try to work up to howlers. i'm going to leave you 2 links that i've learned a LOT from.
