First lets start with breeding season, it not in the fall in most places its jan, feb, and early march. Female deep howls, female sub howls, female sore howls, and female whimpers work good. Basically any female sound besides challenge howl u want to use. I usually only howl at first light or right before dark, i have most luck the last hour of daylight. As far as pup distress 3 and pup screams go they work all year. Coyotes dont worry if its right time of year to be hearing pups, juS like you can use distress sounds that are not native to your area. I have called in coyotes with jackrabbit sounds even though They are not in nc. The main key is your setup and wind, i prefer to setup with a crosswind so i can catch coyotes tryin circle downwind. I prefer a setup with a field or open area downwind so a coyote has to come out in open to wind me. I also prefer a setup that gives coyotes a couple different ways in that they feel safe using like ditches or creek bottoms with brush bcuz its hard to get yotes out in the open during daylight here in the east. I hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions ypu have im no expert and kinda new to it also.
