• Be in full camo, gloves, face mask. etc.   Coyotes can't see many colors but they can tell the shades of colors.  If you are blended in well with the bush or trees, you will be less likely to be picked out. A good camo with depth comes in handy for these situations.

• Be sure to set up with the wind in your face or at least a side wind, so that you are not letting them get down wind of you.  Many times coyotes will respond to the call and head straight downwind to try and sniff out what is making the sound.  Especially if they have been called before.
  
• If you are using an electronic caller, don't blast them out right off the bat. Start out soft and then get louder as the stand goes on. 
• If you are setting up on the edge of an open field they will more than likely not want to come flying out if you are blaring the tone and they don't see anything going on. That leads me to my next point.
• Use a decoy, I have used two of those rabbit decoys and they just don't seem to work. I do like the Whirling woodpecker and the Jack in the box decoy, also the predator extreme decoy is a good one as well.
  
•  I like to spray a little "bunny stank" (rabbit urine) on my decoy to give it a true scent and to cover my own scent that I left on the decoy.
  
•  I will occasionally spray the "coyote stank" (coyote urine) on the bottom of my boots so that if a coyote happens to cross my path leading to my stand it will not spook the coyote.
  
• Try to set up in an area that will give the predator some cover. They don't like to just come flying out of cover and hit an open field. Give them a little bit of brush or tall grass for them to sneak in on, But make sure that you are able to see the predators approach.
  
• Look very hard at the tree line, a lot of times you will have one just sitting there watching to try and figure out just what he is hearing.
  
•  Don't make any quick movements. If they think something is up they will not come in.
  
• One of the main things that took me forever to figure out is don't walk too deep into the woods or out in the open very long. If they hear, or see you . No matter how good your calling is they will not come to your call.
  
• If you see a coyote that has already spotted you, and he is walking or running away. It's not over.  9 times out of 10 you can get that coyote to stop by either barking at him, whistling or just making another loud noise to get his attention.  I primarily use a bark. 
  
• When you do get a coyote to come running in, and he is close enough to take the shot, You can either bark at him or lip squeak him to get it to stop and present you with a better shot.
  
• If you have a coyote hanging up on you and will not respond to you call. Give him a few squeaks with a coaxer, or lip squeaks and most of the time they will come in a little closer or present you with a good shot.
