thanks Brother, will try again this evening ,Am i going out at the right time between 2 and 3 pm or should it be later?

I'm a daybreak til around 9 a.m. kinda guy, but its whenever you like to hunt. 3 til dark works fairly well.

I'd leave that area you've been howl'in in alone for a couple of weeks for things to chill out. If your gonna hunt that area anyway, you should move (stillhunt) closer or into the places you have been see'in them where theres good sign (tracks/scat) and travelways.

Don't be afraid to sneak right into an area with them. Make a stand in brushy areas where you can see 40-50 feet. Conceal yourself and play the wind. A 15 min stand is long enough when hunt'in brush. If noth'in shows---move 400 yds and call again. A close coyote is easier to trick than one thats far away. 99% of the coyotes, cats and fox I kill are at or under 30 yards.

Cool will try this in another area where i have seen alot of scat. I will let you know. Im a duck hunter, just getting into this, i guess a little adjustments are called for.

Welcome to the forum quackwacker.

In short I think you are calling wrong.
My advice to new people on howling is simple ...DON'T... Most people howling are saying something other than what they think they are saying, and it's usually something like YOO HOOO over heeere ! Hold still while i shoot yooooou ! OK, not quite that bad but you get the drift.



Go in quietly set up with the wind in your face or from the side use distress sounds..be patient and sit still, and keep a sharp eye out. But most importantly read... there are pages and pages of advice here to look through. We'll be glad to answer any questions you want.

Have patience, use common sense, and remember what works and what doesn't.

Took a friend in the woods hes another newbee, what a mistake like a damned bull in a china shop, wont sit still like a 5 year old boy in church. After an hour of listening to him flap his gums like we were at a football game it got real quiet, so i looked over to see if he had a heart attack or something, he was on his knees pissin,Jesus H christ even I kknow not to piss in the woods when your hunting. So I left with nothing again.

That'll teach him !

Its rare to find a hunting partner that truly wants to be thier hunting, i guess thats why i enjoy hunting alone sometimes, it sucks when you take someone thinking they are really all about it ,,,, and then they end up being a pain in the rear end. I feel your pain been thier too many times

Been there done that to many times with friends of mine that said they wanted to try calling to see what it was all about. I feel your pain.
