The coons are ready to come out most any time. You have to go after them . Find the den trees and set caller BEHIND the tree from the base to 20 yards back. When they hear the call , you need to make them come out of their hole to get a look at the "coon fight " they are hearing and then kill them. Very few ever leave their tree and come to the call . Most don't like their situation and leave for another hole in the same tree , another tree , or hole in the ground in opposite direction of the caller. You have to be sharp to see them start to leave their hole and get them as they just might turn around and go back in and never leave again while you are calling. If they see you move at all the jig is up and they will not leave the den hole. Most important is the coons that you will see will come from other trees you are not even set up on. Two hunters see and kill way more coons than one. We also found on quiet days that some coons will be coming out of dens up to 150 yards from the caller so as you hunt through an area you might be jumping them out ahead of you and these coons are gone for good. Some times we have one of us go ahead and what up coming den trees and sometimes have 3-4 coons sighted way ahead of the caller or to the sides. We like the cloudy windy days as the call doesn't travel as well and jumping them out ahead is not so much a problem.
