Most effective electronic calls for coyotes?

[Goshawk]

I've spent more money than needed over the years on tape and solid state calling systems. Some are better than others, but none have proven to be 100% realistic.  My best example is this. Right now, if I go hunting and my hawk catches a rabbit, the rabbit's squeals will call in every songbird, cat, dog, crow, raven, ect in hearing distance. I have to get there quickly, or my hawk might end up as coyote or eagle food.  It's the real thing. If I sneak into the woods with my latest wizbang calling unit, and play a dying rabbit, I may get a crow to come by, or a cautious coyote but the response will never be as dramatic as a real injured rabbit, or disbudding a goat kid.

What electronic calls have you found to elicit the best response from wildlife when you use it?

I prefer wind calls
I have a foxpro but have called more predators using mouth calls

This is silly, a ton of things can go wrong on a set up but it’s not the quality of today’s e callers (Shockwaves, X24’s ect). The really cheap ones do sound distorted on high volume, but other than that, they call critters in over and over. IF…you are in a area with predators, you enter the area correctly, you set up correctly, you play sounds that are appropriate and those predators haven’t been educated to those sounds and you don’t get winded and they don’t see you before you see them.

I've used a foxpro inferno for several years.  It has some sound distortion....especially at higher volumes, but it has called in quite a few coyotes.

This year I bought an icotec nightstalker and also acquired a Lucky Duck Revolt in a trade.  Both the nightstalker and the revolt have significantly more volume and crisper sound than my foxpro inferno.  I think the foxpro x24 is in the same class as the nightstalker and the revolt.

The Nighstalker is currently my primary call and I've called in several coyotes with it in the last 3 months.

You can always up your game.
Use both hand call and E caller.
 You know ,throw some distress sounds with hand call.
Use your E call for coyote sounds.

This a great question. Maybe We could have our successful Predator callers help us frustrated callers with Tips and tricks
that made the successful callers.

Goshawk needs to put a recording device on his hawk and get real audio.🤣

In my experience, the call has less to do with it than the sound recording... animals just kinda know what is truly desperation, or communication, or whatever. Judging by response to it by house pets. Dogs will kinda just not care about some sounds, then on other, the heads cock to the side and the ears perk up... Some sounds even get them riled. Cheap callers, expensive callers, doesn't seem to be as critical as the sound file.

Comparing callers running the same sound file, yeah, I think quality reproduction matters.

My mantra with dog training applies to predator calling too... They're smart, but they're SIMPLE.

I've used my Wildlife Tech call and have called more coyotes than I can count. Their sounds are claimed to be obtained from real animals in nature, zoos, etc....  I say claimed because I dont make them so I wont promise something I dont know for a fact. But like has been said, there is more important things like wind, setup, time of year, area, coyote attitude such as "over called" or new pups. I dont think many people take into consideration weather and time of year. If your hunting close to deer and elk seasons, they get gut piles to eat, a silly rabbit distress is useless. During breeding season, volcalization and pup sounds work better than ringing the dinner bell. But if its after hunting season, before they pack up to breed, and its bitter cold, they need to eat more frequent, so food distress is big. Gotta know they quarry you're after and all variables, and success will happen

I tired recording goat kids that were being debudded (horns burnt off) once but the quality of the tap was useless.
