This is just my opion , but I think you might have played too many sequences and different sounds over a short time. You mentioned being there for 45min which is fine but Maybe you played too many different sounds at them. Somthing that I never do is challenge a coyote if he has not challenged me. That is somthing I just do, but to throw all though different things at them may have been way too much in my thoughts. This is one reason I do not like e-callers. Way too many sound files . Your simple mouth calls you can have instant feedback when the time comes and you don't have to fiddle around and try to find the right sound when the need arises. It wouldn't be right to set here and tell you what you should have done. I can only talk about things that have happened to me personally and that is what I base my thoughts on. Some people say keep throwing different sounds at them until finally they commit to that sound. I have done that and it does work some of the time, but I still think the most important key is don't throw too many sounds at them all in a small amount of time. I still maintane lots of time in between and not much sound. I know it can be frustrating some times. Maybe in some instances it might be better to quietly leave and come back another time. If somebody tells you they have this game figured out , take his word lightly. What works in one area may not work in another area, so what I am telling you , just keep that in the back of your mind. Maybe someone else can shed a little light on this subject. You know the coyote is a majestic animal, and I guess that is why I love to hunt them soo much. They can be soo stupid sometimes and so cunning at other times.
