This may sound like a dumb question, so I will admit to being dumb. Your sitting on your stand playing a prey Rabbit in distress. You see a coyote running at about 150 yards out and you know it is trying to get down wind to scent what is causing that rabbit to be in distress. If I were to change the sound at that point to a territorial sound like a young red fox barking and then back to the rabbit distress. Do you think he would stop trying to circle down wind and come straight in thinking he could handle the young red fox with the rabbit ?

I would just make a Whoop,or barking sound with my voice,they will USUALLY stop in there tracks.That gives you the second or two you need to line up and shoot. GOOD HUNTING Chad.....

Missed you at the campout, Norm. A good time and a nice visit with old friends and new.
You are ha ha funny about the mist, it will get you a few animals that manage to slip down wind despite your best efforts to stop them before they get there. However, the question is how to stop them and Chad mentions one method of stopping them for a shot before they get your scent. Lip squeaking and other sounds are also good for that purpose, even scratching or scuffing sounds, like digging, etc.
No doubt, once a coyote decides to circle on you, there are only a few ways to stop him, a bark or a whoop or a hurt pup; that kind of thing.
Once he gets down wind, the only thing I have ever found that holds him long enough for a decent shot is misting, done properly.
I know it sounds funny, but I've seen it work many times.
Good hunting. LB
