I,m no expert but have had a little luck.I like to try and locate em first.cover some ground looking for sign-scat- tracks etc.Go out to the areas you find sign right before dark and listen for em and then scout that area for setups.That way u know the lay of the land -prevailing winds-quietest way in etc.If I don,t hear any in areas that look good then use the siren or coyote locator to try to get em talking.you can travel around blind calling but do some scouting first to better your odds.I,ve had most of my luck in the evenings right before dark.(i don,t do much night hunting )This time of year use coyote sounds-female invite-lonesome howl etc and be PATIENT-minimum of 30 minutes-A few times it was 30-40 minutes and POOF here comes a yote just taking it,s good ole time sneaking in.You,ll do lots of nothing stands but it sure is fun to see em coming in.good luck-Lloyd-Iya ekta kin heohomni!!!
