Quick Answer
Coyotes find high-pitched sounds and long, drawn-out vocalizations the most intriguing, with a frequency range of 1-5 kHz being particularly effective.
Choosing the Right Call
When selecting a coyote call, consider the type of hunting you’ll be doing. Electronic calls are ideal for long-distance calling and can be more effective for larger areas, while mouth calls offer greater flexibility and a more natural sound. For beginners, electronic calls with predesigned sequences can be easier to use and require less practice.
Effective Stand Setup
To maximize your chances of success, set up your stand 100-200 yards from a known coyote travel route, such as a game trail or a fence line. Face the call away from the sun to reduce glare, and use a 10-15 foot tree with a sturdy branch to minimize movement. Consider using a ladder stand or a ground blind for added concealment.
Decoys and Fur Care
Using a decoy can significantly improve your chances of attracting coyotes. Choose a decoy that’s at least 20-30 feet away from your stand to create a realistic presentation. When handling coyote fur, always wear gloves to prevent oils from your skin from damaging the hide. Regularly clean and condition the fur to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
