I will third what wiley said. I was down hunting with Wiley a couple of weekends ago. I will give you an illustration of what Wiley means. First stand first day we were approaching a ridge to call from when the coyotes started howling over on the other side With another group howling off in the distance. We continued to our destination and Wiley E started calling. right away they answered with a warning barking and howling Wiley E with his sharp eyes managed to pick out four coyotes in the distance. He persisted in his calling and managed to draw one out of the group which he shot. we then walked approx. 3/4 mile towards the second group. once we got there Wiley E howled again and received an answer we then used distress cries nothing showed. we then Moved about 1/3 of a mile closer and howled again we inexactly received a challenge howl in return. Wiley E waited a short period and challenged back the coyote answered again you could tell it was on it's way. We waited and the coyote arrived Wiley E coaxed it a little closer with the kiss of death and then he shot it. We continued on the stand and nothing else showed up.
This situation brings up a couple of questions. is it a complete waste of time to continue calling after a warning bark howl?
Two is it nessacarry to move 4-5 miles after warning barking?
I fully believe that the only reason we collected the second coyote was because we moved closer to where the coyote was. I was able to see a similar situations execept for the warning barking/howling again that weekend. We were able to get coyotes to approach us by moving closer to them.
If I have interpreted this wrong Wiley E please correct me.
