Dwayne,
I have seen what you describe with coyotes as well. The instances I have seen it was with coyotes and an abundance of grasshoppers. Certain years have produced millions of grasshoppers, and coyotes love them!
During the time the grasshoppers are thick, it's hard to call in coyotes, for sure. It usually lasts until there is a freeze that is intense enough to kill the grasshoppers, and even then, the coyotes will graze for days on the dead, frozen grasshoppers, and only respond to distress calls after the supply of them is eaten up. Although you can call them up with coyote vocalizations. Especially in breeding season.
The dove were not plentiful enough to stop the coyotes from coming to the call. It just shows the coyotes greedy nature...
I had a friend call and kill one that came in with a partially eaten WT deer fawn clamped in it's jaws...
All is well here. Wish it would rain some more, though!
(Y'all can keep the ice up your way.)
