Quick Answer
If your coyote call fails to attract anything, try changing the sound or volume, and also consider scouting the area to determine if coyotes are present.
Adjust Your Call
If your coyote call is not attracting coyotes, try switching to a different type of call, such as a screaming female in distress or a pup calling for its mother. This can sometimes trigger a response from a curious coyote. Alternatively, you can try increasing the volume of your call to get the coyotes’ attention. If you’re using a digital caller, try adjusting the pitch or tone to see if that makes a difference.
Scout the Area
It’s possible that coyotes are present in the area, but not responding to your call. Take some time to scout the terrain, looking for signs of coyote activity such as tracks, scat, or digging. Also, check for any food sources that might be attracting coyotes, such as deer or rabbit trails. If you find signs of coyote activity, try calling in the area where you saw the signs. This can help you pinpoint the location of the coyotes and increase your chances of getting a response.
