You want to hunt an area that will give you a good view. Open fields with wood lines would be a great place to start. And always keep the wind in your favor.

As for calls, There are all kinds of brands and styles on the market. But there are really only to types of mouth blown calls, an open reed and a closed reed. A closed reed call would be the easiest to use, just change how much air is blown through the call while you open and close your hand over the end of the call. An open reed will give you the most variety of sounds you can make from one call, from raspy to low and high pitch sounds.

An electronic caller would allow you to use a wide variety of tapes which will give you a variety of different animal distress sounds to use.

You can hunt coyotes all day and take one, but the best time to hunt coyotes are the first 3 to 4 hours after sunrise and the last 3 hours before sundown.

You don't really need bait, but if you find a dead animal, check it out to see if the coyotes (look for tracks) have been feasting off of it, if they have setup 75 to 100 yards away and call alittle and see what happens.
