new to calling yotes

hello, new to the sight and also calling, i hunted coyotes for years but with a group of guys and we ran them with hounds.Had to give it up a few years ago do to a new baby and now i got two.So now i want to give it another shot but wanted to give calling a try so i can do it when i have the time. Just dont have time to spend all day out running with the boys anymore. I got alot of land and a bad coyote problem. Not such a problem i guess this year i have on my trail cam gray, black, and even red coyote.So i got excited and went and bought a johnny stewart prey master digital caller. just dont know what sounds work the best and when to use dif sounds at different times of day or night. it would be great for alittle input. thanks

There is a ton of great dvds out there that will help. This was where I started. Lots of predator stuff is on sale right now being it’s not in season yet. I just seen a couple dvds on sale for $8 a piece at a scheels store. Welcome to the sight!

Here’s a few things that should get you off to a good start.

1. Always position yourself for the best vantage point
2. Coyotes always come in from down wind – So make sure you have a good field of view to see them before they get directly down wind of you.

3. Don’t over call. Run a sequence of a call, and give it 5 minutes or so before doing it again. Start at a low to medium volume, and work your way up. Early season (fall) mouse squeaks, birds, rodents, rabbit all work. Try variations of rabbit calls. I’ve noticed a difference in justt a 100 miles accross WI, on they thewy respond. Here by my house, they like a higher pitch sound. At my farm, they like a deeper sounding rabbit.

4. Later in the season, or closer to breeding season, pup sounds work very well

5. best squeek call I ever found, was the squeeker from the cheapest pet toy you can buy.

thanks alot for the help guys. another ? is what kind of decoy is recomended. I was looking around and them quiver rabbit ones i herd from some guys they work pretty well?

Anything visual that can peak their interest is always a bonus to get them in closer

What ever you buy don’t spend a lot. The decoy that I use the most is home made. Its an aluminum arrow with a turkey feather on a 10″ string attached with a barrel swivel. It has a lot of movement with very little wind. They seem to be in a trance when they see it with all the erratic action that it has. What ever you do keep it simple all you need to do is get there attention away from you and bring them in close enough for a shot.

ok i know theirs not alot of ducks landing in snow covered feilds in jan. but i gave up duck hunting this year and have a couple mojos laying around. I was thinking about giving one a try for s**ts and giggles. either that or takeing one apart and just useing the internals to make something. if nothing else i see those quiver rabbits are only 40$.
