Johny stewart "Superjack" .............It is the most productive call ever!
Just got this one about an hour ago. Took 2 minutes for her to come in.

That's a pretty general question. I think it depends on where you live, where you hunt, the amount of pressure the coyotes receive, the calling devices others in your area are using, etc. If you are hunting in an area that is popular to other coyote hunters, chances are that the coyotes are educated and wont respond to a call. If everyone in your area uses an electronic caller then I would use a mouth call to gain the coyotes attention. I have found, the pups are uneducated and will come in at least once to any given call out of curiosity. If you blow the chance to take it you will have to step it up a notch and "feed" him. They might respond to one call one day and a different call the next. Say a guy before you calls a coyote in on a cottontail distress, takes a shot and misses, the coyote is less likely to come back in to that call. You will have to play with many different calls and see what works.
Here is central washington I have found a fawn bleat and challenge howl work the best. I'll throw a bark or mouse squeak in to get the dog to stop so I can deliver a well placed shot.
It was meant to be a general question. I realize all those factors come in to play as I've had a difficult time myself lately finding what they'll respond to in my area. I was just curious to see what was working for others in their areas.
Use a sound that is totally different. When I hit a dry spell, I will think outside the box and things turn around.
This time of year, howls are pretty hard to beat.
try a baby coon. once youve educated all the yotes on the rabbit and woodpecker and such try the coon.
i've been filling the back of the truck here in idaho using the coyote pup distress and ground hog distress 60+ dogs this winter and finally getting tougher with no snow on ground. As terrible as it sounds i've even heard of guys recording their babies crying and using that recording havent tried it yet but heard it works pretty well.
don't laught,but a dogs squeakie toy works great
you can change the tone by muffling it in your hand

Go figure :D
no joke give it a try

wounded pup has been getting me alot of attention lately.
I hadn't spent much time coyote hunting on purpose, but have shot a few while deer hunting or caught them crossing a pasture. That all changed when we got chickens after I retired and a few weeks ago I spotted a coyote on my back fence line about 85 yds from the house. I happened to have a Glock 21 in my belt and fired several rounds at it. I found it dead on the other sie of my fence, a ***** with dry teats-pups in the area! I broke outmy Johnny Stewart Caller w/ a chicken distress tape and set up a ground blind among a log/trash pile near the fence. I've killed about 10 coyotes in the last 2 weeks with a 221 Rem Fireball under 50 yds. in my "back yard"! There is a 2 section parcel of woods behind me and pastures/woods/creek bottom around me. At least 3 packs of coyotes can be heard at night howling/yipping.
