It is never set in stone, some places I walk a distance, sometimes just barely out the door. I try and call from a place that the critters can't see the vehicle so I might park in a dip and walk back or far enough that a coyote is low enough in the cover that he cant see the vehicle coming in. I walk in my caller and decoy are handy, no unloading just set and go and return to where I want to where I want to sit, now wandering around. Here I set up my chair, sit, set the rifle on the sticks, check to make sure it is loaded and turn on the caller, my remote is velcroed to thigh when I leave the house. My sounds are on presets with the starting volume already adjusted a couple minutes into the stand start to turn the volume up, I might vary the volume a little and near the end of the stand will switch to quiet rodent squeaks. I never have to mess with the remote other than to press a button. I've had coyotes just out of sight for most of the stand come charging in at the change of sound. I rarely mess with coyote vocals but am going to give it a try a little more. Mouth calls have been just emergency calls but again my asthma has really lessened since I retired and can call now without lapsing into a coughing fit so these will be getting more use.
I rarely stay more than 15 min. although I will stay a couple min. longer as the season progresses.
