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.
Thanks, I’m going to try loacating the night before I go next time. I don’t have a lot of time to hunt right now been busy at work
