[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 198725, member: 704"] Another old caller. We didn't have coyotes around here when I started calling in 1958, but the fox swarmed you some days. I have had coyotes howl back as Kurt explained, but as years have gone on I find there are two situations. One they are responding to your call, and two they know your there and they are howling at you. Then the jib is up and you may as well leave. Out in the Badlands one time I set up a white hub blind. Before I could start calling about four or five coyotes had spotted me and started howling and barking at me. This didn't soak through my thick skull at the time. Then while camping while deer hunting we have had them come within 100 yards of camp at night and bark and howl at us. I don't have a good enough ear to tell if they are responding or chastising me so I just keep trying everything I can think of. Pup in distress has worked best, but sometimes the game has gone on for an hour and I give up and leave. I have tried getting closer, but most times I have not had enough cover and get busted. Sometimes it's hard for a part time hunter to fool a full time coyote. [/QUOTE]
