Ah, the old stand off. Trying howling once and then going totally quiet on him. The silence may get the better of him and make come to investigate what "was" there. This is, of course, assuming that he did not see or smell you prior to the standoff.

Howler

I'd guess it was a warning bark and it's hard to beleive that a coyote would do it for three hours, let alone someone would sit and listen to a coyote warning bark for that long. Sounds like you were busted and should've taken the hint, go home, you're busted and wasting your time!
