What do you guys recommend for a non e-caller for our state?

No such thing as a best.  Get a fawn distress, calf elk distress, high pitch, like what a rodent or bird would sound like, cottontail distress, raspy(jack rabbit) to start with.  I've got probably 50 hand calls and am always looking for the next great one.  Also have an E caller which is the bomb for calling bobcats since you have to call for at least 45 min to an hour.  They all work at one time or another.  If you are getting responses from crows, ravens, birds of prey, you know you are doing something right, there just might not be any predators in range.  Good luck.

I'd say the good old mouse squeeker would be my number one go to call. All predators eat mice. :twocents:

It's been my experience, that it really depends on the time of year, and your location.  About this time of year, I don't use many prey sounds on the wet side of the hill.  I just haven't had much luck with them.  They seem to work OK over east of the mountains all year. 

I think it's mostly due to all the idiot road hunters sitting in their trucks on a landing in the middle of a clear cut, blowing their new "rabbit in distress", while drinking their lunch.  I think, (around here anyway), by the end of November, just about every coyote has heard every version of the dying rabbit.  (Sorry, I had to vent!!!)

Now it's time to howl.

You can make any sound on any library with one of Ricks mouth calls, its all in the user. Rick makes excellant calls I use many of, there are many good calls. I much prefer open reed calls. I can howl, squeak, wail, cry, moan and whine like a little sissy with Ricks calls.
If there is a sound you need to make that you can't with one of Ricks calls its your fault!!

As long as I am running my mouth all calls that say they sound like "rabbits, crows, cows,mice and sasquatch, female coyotes in heat and distress in the month of May, :chuckle: grouse, quail and squirrels" are liars. You can make almost any call sound like all kinda stuff.
