I have 3 packs of coyotes within 2 miles of my house. they are sestroying the wild game pops. I have tryed trapping them but failed. I have a .223 with high powered scope and I have two calls, one a destres call and the other a electronic cotintail destres, puppy wines, woodpecker, and mouse. I don't know how to use them, or if i should use them.

Using mouth calls takes time. Your problem I would go with the electronic calls. Place it by you and sneak as quiet as you can into your stand. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and play a 2 to 5 minute sequence on your call cotton tail distress and woodpecker. Then stop it and wait for about 15 to 30 minutes after 30 minutes of no yote do another calling sequence of 2 to 5 minutes. Maybe the puppy in distress. then wait for another 15 to 30 minutes. If nothing then quietly walk out of your stand.
You will get best results if you park at least 1 mile away from your stand. I would first go out and look for tracks where you find lots of tracks then you have a lot of traffic. You might want to go to the store and buy some beef liver and kidneys and create a bait pile then just sit back and watch it.

If coyotes are in the area my best success is with the rabbit in distress. Along with scent masks and good cover, the primos call works wonders. Contrary to what others have said limit the length of time of call to 30 seconds, with a couple minute restbit.
Think about it, a rabbit in real distress only can keep up the nose for a while until it needs to catch it's breath. Calling is an art, especially with a mouth call. Don't expect it to happen 1st time out but when it does the performance is worth repetition.

The distress call is far and away the better call, with the cottontail shriek being a close second. Make sure with the eloctronic call that you set it up out in front of you about 20 yards, well hidden, pay attention to the wind direction and get good camo.

By the calls from Primos, they come with an instructional DVD. I am Coyote hunting for the first time this year myself and having a rough time at it. I even have a night permit from one land owner. But the Primos calls at least give you some guidance.

These animals are very wary. They will smell you very easily. Do not get upwind of the place you expect to view them and shoot at them. They also run like the wind once seen as they are often used to getting shot at. Be ready to get off a shot as soon as you see them. Sometimes at daylight and just before dusk is the best time to call. If you can hunt at night in your state, that is very good though you will need someone to assist with lighting and need special night vision to see your quarry.

You can use these calls but the best one I have found is the distress call. Set your calls up about 50 to 100 yds away and have a coyote busting party.

just an additional suggestion since you already have good answers. try using bait - raw meat,guts,carcasses - (new road kill is a cheap way to go it's free). goodluck!!!

if it is allowed in your state use a red light they cant see it and hunt at night when they are on prowl also use a tree stand if you can
