What kind of sequence do you all use for calling and what kind of time periods.

Looking for advice have done a little bit of calling did have one fox and one yote come in years ago.

Really been out of it for many years.

Do you like to start with prey calls or with yote calls to you mix and match them.

Would like to get into it again.

Spend a dime and get one of Randy Andersons tapes. It will give you all of the tactics you need for calling and killing yotes.

P dog shooter,

Save your money, unless you are heading to other states to hunt coyotes.

You don’t mention where you are located, but around here we have to almost still hunt into a set to call from. It is very easy for us to get busted, so I start by lip squeeking for several “sessionsâ€. The first session is very short, with each succeeding session getting longer and louder. After that comes the distress calls. Once again starting out with short, low volume sessions, going to longer and louder sessions.

In this area the coyotes are dealing with wolves and are almost totally silent. Their howls, (when heard at night only) are always a short type of challenge howl. I have not had any luck at all using howls (in NoWis), but I am going to try again during the breeding season. I have some ideas I am going to try. This is in contrast to calling in Mt. where I howl almost totally and have success.

I used to howl a few times after the distress calls, but all I called in was the damn wolves lookin' to kick a coyotes ass. If you don’t have wolves around, howling might work, but I would like to hear them a few times before I tried to imitated them.

Good luck.

PM me if you want.

I start off with a distressed rabbit sound at low volume and call for about 10 seconds, then watch and wait for about 5 minutes. If nothing shows, I will increase the volume but again call for 10 seconds, then watch for about 5 minutes. I'll do 4-6 sessions like this, then move on. This time of year, I will also howl a fair amount.

Two schools of thought had it work both ways. Rabbit ect... is strongest when it is first grabbed. Start of loud and frantic then trail off for 3-5 sequences getting lower each time.

or start low and soft and then build louder in each sequence, first being the softest last being the loudest. If you did your job made your set right and snuck into it, animals can be real close. Keep in mind set up so you can see. IME foxes and coyotes start circling as soon as they figure out were the sound is coming from. Less is more mostly

Paint a picture when you call. This seems to work for me, bulb squeek to imitate birds being distubed, then prey sounds. Mr fox got a rabbit Bulb being first, prey sound for the next two or three, then roll into a fox in distress. Pup fox grabbed a mouth full, got his ass kicked, now we got a buffet over there. Brings them running most times. Short Waa waah wahh. Bunny does not have much lung capcity. 30-45 secs then watch. Do not blow that call until you are sure your are not being watched. Once the animal is spotted, lip squeeks from there no more calling. I aint no Randy Anderson and that is the 5 cent version. Works real well for me and the two other guys I hunt with. Set up, camo and sent controll is the most important, in that order.
