Calling in howling coyotes

I have been calling a while and everything I know is from trial and error. I just found this site and it has been great. My question is how do you get a pack that is howling to come in. I have had a lot of coyotes howling at me but i cant seem to get one in once they start. Any advice please?
 
I've had problems with that too! What calls are you using? It seems that I can get them to respond vocally to lone howls, but only intermittently come in when I've tried challenges or anything else.

HOWEVER, I did zip off a female invitation howl on the Foxpro last night and had two come (at the same time) within a minute! Of course, that has much to do with the time of year it is..

Where in Texas are you?
 
I am hunting around Abilene. I use distress and howls when I call and have had coyotes howl back at me with both. I use the Randy Anderson Hot Dog series for howling. I have tried everything I know (which isnt that much compared to some) to get them in after that with little success. I have not had much luck with the female invatation but I could also be doing it wrong. Thanks for the reply.
 
i have had the same problem here lately. called in one large male w/ the female invitation, but when i hear several yotes howling together i can get them to answer, but not to come in.
By the way, love the screen name RustyShackleford.
 
i know some say dont use a challenge howl unless challenged first but i have killed 2 yotes at night using it after a packs lites up
 
In my experience . . . which is only a couple years of hunting coyotes . . . if I can get a pack close enough and howling at me I can call at least one of them into my setup. I think the most common mistake is using too many coyote vocalizations once you get them to respond. I give them only ONE coyote vocalization after they respond and then just wait for them to come . . . if I don't see anything within 5 minutes I go to a coyote pup distress . . . if I still see nothing after an additional 5 - 10 minutes I move on to the next stand. The key, in my opinion, is being close enough to the pack to persuade them it's worth the travel to come to my stand. If the pack is WAAAY out there I think it is best to quietly move closer to them and go with another coyote vocalization . . . make them think you are a lone coyote pushing into their territory. Like I said, just my experience.
 
I totaly agree when I here a pack after howling when I am on a stand the first thing i do is nothing just wait then if nothing after 10 or so move in as close as I can and start with the ki yis or pup diss that depends on how the pack sounded if it sounded like younger and more than 3 dogs i go with pup and if its just 3 or less with a old male go with the ki yis
YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR
I always listen as close as possible and try to tell
how many
youg dogs
old dogs and so on then give that bunch what you think would get them interested /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Ok well i am also having the same problem i live in texas wise county and i use a dying rabbit call. i get nothing to answer back to it. but when a train goes by i have like 4 differnt packs howl.. heh
 
I doubt they will return a howl for the rabbit in distress I have never had one do that in my couple of years doing it
it could be possible
get a howler and then they should answer back and when they do move in as close as you can without spoking them then use your rabbit call

I called in to dogs in the first stand I ever made and shot 1 of them so I was hooked my first time out
 
here in colorado,i get em to howl,move in closer to them,throw out a pup howl,then after 5 mins if they havent appeared,i'll use a distress call,but low volume,seems to work well here
