My theory on baits is similar to Andy's; although dead cows, gut piles, and other baits do attract coyotes, you have to wait until they decide they want to go there which can be a long wait. Calling attracts them NOW, and is a lot more fun.
I think there is merit to decoys in that they will often attract the coyote's attention, and anything that makes him stop paying attention to you, however briefly, is a help. It should be quite visible and "odd" works as well as "real" if you can find something. I have seen them investigate a small rag that moved in the breeze. They are intelligent, and like all intelligent things they can be very curious too.
