In addition to the type of call ( pup distress during denning season etc..), you should also account for movement. If you called coyotes in late fall or winter in one area, that doesn’t mean they’re denning there. A lot of times there isn’t anything wrong with the call you’re blowing/playing. There just may not be a coyote close enough to respond. I trap more than I call. No sign gets no trap. I mostly call the same way. Of course sometimes in a new area you might want to try calling before seeing immediate sign if it “looks good “. Driving through an area and blowing a locator howl or a siren every mile or so a day or so before you intend to call will tell you if you’re in the right neighborhood. All this to say you can’t call what isn’t there.
