What works best..... If your plans are to call in coyotes or fox then you will need to get yourself a call. There are many types of calls on the market today including electronic ones which use tapes or chips. The most virsatile call is a plain old tube call. Hand calling usually produces the best results depending on the person doing the calling. Electronic calls can be quite expensive but can prove rewarding used with remotes on windy days to get the volume you need and to get the call out accross the wind to throw off a coyote or fox coming into the call and into the wind. The tube call is the cheapest to buy and the easiest to find. Today there are are many brands on the market to choose from but if you are looking for a call that will get the job done you need to look for a wooden rabbit squeal. A Jack rabbit or cottaintail squeal will do just fine. I use an Olt model 22, and any other model number I can get my hands on that is raspy. I find that a raspy call does more than enough to convince them that there is dinner waiting for them. You can use a doe bleat or a fawn distress call and they will work well too. I try to keep a variety of calls on hand and use different ones at the stands I call from each time I'm there. I also try to keep an open reed call with me at all times in case one of my calls freezes up. It also comes in handy when you get a pair in and shoot the one and the other gets away. With some howls and whines you can sometimes convince the mate to come back for a second look. Some people use only howlers to call them in. I have never had success this way by using that method alone but have used a howler in a combination with a rabbit squeeler or fawn bleat with much success. I've also found that barks and howls work well in late January and February when they are mated up. Coyotes are territorial and can responde aggressively to barks and howls followed by distress calls. Most times when you are hunting, you have enough stuff to carry without having to carry more weight with an electronic too. Diaphram mouth calls can work for you if you spend the time to learn to use them and don't gag from having the call stuck in the roof of your mouth. They take some practice but with a diaphram mouth call you can immitate squeals as well as howls and barks. The only thing I don't like about them is having them in the roof of your mouth. On the positive side, it does leave your hands free to shoot. Good Hunting! Copyright 1998-2008 Wolfz Video Productions all right reserved
