I like to keep them coming straight hot 'n true like a torpedo.  I want them focused with their ears and eyes - not their nose.  Give them too much time and they'll revert automatically to their nose because they don't hear the sound and haven't seen anything yet so the most infallible sense they have is the nose.  If they go downwind it's a very short time until it's over.  In my hilly rough country I can use terrain to try to funnel the coyote and make it difficult for it to get dead downwind.  If I can keep them stimulated enough I can bring them inside shotgun range.  A crosswind set-up works well here for me.  Here a coyote can be 100 yards downwind of me and I'll never see him.  However, he will surely smell me.  My country is not called or pressured by other coyote callers so my coyotes aren't unusually spooky and sometimes can be pretty naive.  Because of that, and that I may just as likely call a cat as a coyote I dislike long pauses.
