This seems like good advice they are giving you with decoys and changing up for pup distress , howls , close range mouse squeaks and so on . Although we mostly push bush in the winter , I've been brushing up on calling because i don't always have the time , or the weather isn't cooperating when i do . I plan on buying an e -caller shortly . One with a multiple sound feature . From all I've read and watched on eastern coyote hunting , these suggestions "should " help . But in some ways it's just like deer hunting . The minute you think you got them figured out whether pushing or calling is the time when they throw out the curve ball . Best i could add is don't over call , give a stand at least one half hour before you move . Try to be as stealthy both coming in and leaving a stand . Even when parking your vehicle . If they have been pressured or shot at before they'll be twice as jumpy when they see trucks stop , people moving or hear doors slamming , even from a distance . Last year we hand a bust of a morning hunt(weather ), so we quit and went for a drive to figure it out . Found one standing a good 500 yds ., out there . But we made the mistake of stopping right away instead of circling and parking out of sight . He busted us right away . Only stopped once to pop his head up out of a low spot and once again before he dove into a bush and kept on truckin' . Best advice of all is get out there and try their suggestions . If one doesn't work try another . You'll find some things work better than others but sometimes depending on the time of year , what worked in fall doesn't always work during say mating season . If you really get frustrated , call up some buddies and start pushing bush . Best of luck .
