calls

[bosshogg112]

after taking a few trips to various sporting good stores i am a little overwhelmed on the sheer (spelling???) number of calls for coyotes.  i am on kind of a tight budget (damn joint checking accounts LOL!!!) so i dont want to purchase one and it ends up being junk.  the wifey agreed to let me buy 2 calls i am thinking some sort of distress and a howler/bark (not to sure if this is the right lingo).  i know that this is probably one of the hardest critters to hunt but i am not easily discouraged so putting in the time w/o seeing one will not be a issue either.  any suggestions would be greatly appriciated!!!

Write or call bearman Rick as Rasbo said there are a lot out there but Ricks work and are;nt an arm and leg. He will also give advise and even call for you and show you how to use and work them. He is the man.

there are some real good ones made by the guys on here. i really like the criiter getter calls, come with about 5 reads to change the sound and let you find what you like. great calls

[bosshogg112]

Gentleman thank you for the info sounds like i need to contact bearman.

[bearmanric]

I have one or two of my old call sets. there $14.00 with shipping. and my new stet's are $28.00 with shipping. just click on my banner for to see my website. had fun today did alot of cub in distress. with my new closed reed it is killer. Rick

[bosshogg112]

what is the differance between the old and the new set besides the price Bearmanric?  if it is not significant i would love to have one of the older ones as my wife would be extatic with that price (this keeps me off the couch LOL!!!)

[bearmanric]

old style $12.00 great sounding.


new style $28.00 cnc machined out of Delrin.

[bosshogg112]

here i go sounding like a noob but oh well.  i assume that it comes with reeds for howling/distress that will make those pesky dogs go bonkers.  do the reeds "wear our"  i cant imagine the would if they are a plastic or composite material, but thought i would ask. 

well i would love to buy one of the old sets from you.  let me know what i need to do to make this transaction happen.

[bearmanric]

if you want to howl i'll have to do a openreed with a YDD2 toneboard it doe's excellent Howl's and and Distress it has exta mylar reeds. the RR1 there is mainly Distress. Rick

[bosshogg112]

so in the end i would end up purchasing 2 different calls at $12 a piece???

no $12.00 for the set. just ordered a bunch more of the closed reed. have a few black then i only have clear green. very good value for the older set. Rick

[bosshogg112]

 if you go to my website my number is there. eating right now. call in a half hour or so. Rick

I have ordered an open reed distress (elk horn) from Rick and was very satisfied. In fact, I recently ordered a special order closed reed elk horn call too, since I was so pleased with it.

Good luck with whatever you may choose. As far as factory made calls go, I have had real good luck with the "Sceery" brand distress calls.
