Evenings usually for me, but that is when I do most of my call. I start with a dominate male bark and howl, then to a rabbit squeal, with a few barks here and there.

With these cold temps anytime of the day works well. I called one in on Sunday at 1pm. I then tried at dusk and under the full moonlight had one group hang up a couple hundred yards out and another set that wouldnt cross the river to get to me and I didnt have a clear shot at them. They are usually a little more skittish on public ground though.
As far as calling goes, I will start out with some kind of distress call, then if that don't work start going to lone howls, if that doesn't get a response then I will either go back to distress or a nasty sounding mt. Lion in heat sound that pretty much sounds like a cat backed up into a corner growling, then I will go straight back to group howls to get try to get them fired up and come in for the attack. Suprisingly it has worked for me.
If I hear them howling though when I arrive to my spot, I usually try to get close as I can, then start out with coyote vocals.

I generally start with a rabbit distress for 5 or 10 minutes. Sometimes that gets them. If it doesn't, I like to group howl for about a minute. That will usually make them howl back and sometimes come in. With mating season starting now. I will use Ki Yi's and fighting coyote yips to imitate two dogs fighting over a hot female(Kinda like rattling during the rut). This works really well for me in January and February! I just killed three the other night in just two different sets! It is definitely a blast when it works!
Just wish they were worth a little more. I took 7 coyotes to my fur buyer tonite and only got $60 for the lot.
