I wish there was a right answer for this. Let's see...how about 14 and a half days? LOL. Seriously though, people will suggest all kinds of time frames you must adhere to before trying that area again. Which is the correct one? Dunno. So many variables influence whether a coyote responds or not, it would be impossible to give a correct answer.
I believe that some coyotes that have had a brush with death may never respond to distress calls ever again. Others, it might just take a sound change and different stand location to make them let their guard down. If I really wanted to call that area, and I had limited places to call, I may show back up in a couple weeks and give it another go.
One way to get around that "flyer" that the previous survivors have circulated, is to wait till breeding starts and utilize howling. This is a whole different animal. Chances are, they will not associate this with anything negative. Plus that time of year they are aggressive and more likely to investigate the source of any howling.
If it was me, I would let it rest longer and call somewhere else for a little bit. I got enough places to call that I rarely call the same areas more than two or three times a year. Many only once.
That's just me though and I am in no way implying it is right.
Take care, Curt
