He's lucky they were only coyotes. I read a story years ago in Outdoor Life about a grizzly plowing into a hapless hunter from behind after he used a fawn bleat. So violent was the collision, that the rifle's muzzle was nailed into a fallen log, so deep that it took two people to pull it out of the log. The hunter was not able to tell the story himself, to put it non-graphically. Always try to be aware of your surroundings, and even better, be in a tree when calling, you just never know. At least you can't be snuck up on like that, and you could get a shot off even if something does start climbing up after you...
