went out callin last nite, there was absolutely no wind, did some howling, coyotes were going nuts, had them howling all over the place but they wouldnt come in, even tried using a rabbit tape after howling, still nothing. you think its cuz of the fact that there was no wind, does that make them to timid to answer calls, also how do u know where they come from or do u just look 360 degrees?? thanks for the help.
No Wind at nite, does it matter??

There's never any way to tell from where they will come, so do run the light 360. The wind will affect it a little, especially with coyotes. They will hang up and circle, maybe out where you can't see them, or the old smart ones, may not come at all. I like a little breeze but still do have success on windless nights. Randy

Like Randy said; I like a little wind blowing. When you have a pack howling some times it is a little harder to get them to come and there can be a couple reasons why.
All it takes is one smart coyote in the pack to realize that there is something wrong with these rabbit sounds or coyote barks and warn the others with just one single bark.
Its lots harder to call a pack if you are to far away from them. If I have a pack answer my call, then I will move in closer from "down-wind" and use the rabbit call very lightly. I will sometimes use a howl of a "young" coyote male to draw the dominant male from the pack.
Just a quick story from the past: I set up 50 yards from den of coyotes one evening,(35 min. before they would start their sernade) and waited. As soon as they started howling I started with my rabbit call and presto, there was two or them right in front of me. Got them both with the 12 ga.
I learned a lot about using different calling sequence's and how to use the "female invitation" calls from the late Bill Austin of Wyoming.
