Taken the new Foxpro shockwave out this weekend, I was just lookin for a little advice on what sounds to use, Going up north of Spokane.

Last week I had them coming in with the following set:

1. Woodpecker in distress - 10 min
2. Whitetail Fawn in distress (they seemed most interested in this)- 10 min
3. Cottontail in distress - 10 min
4. Coyote Pup in distress- 2 min

I know some of these things aren't "in season" but for whatever reason it works.

The wind shifted 5 minutes into the stand, so I gave it up. turns out they came in and I left too soon, one of em shat right where I was sitting :chuckle:

If you get a response go right to pup distress3. If no response wait a couple min and then go to pup distress. Total stand time 20-25 min. Your miliage may vary, this works good for me.

Closest I've come to sounding like more than one coyote was with a Primos "Double-Whammy" call. Wide call with a large reed and a smaller reed, in one call, and you swapped reeds back and forth. Got good response with it too.

Practice, practice, practice, and before long your dying cow will sound like a coyote! :chuckle:

The fact of the matter is you're putting out a prey sound, and those yotes get tired of eating rotting flesh and nuts.

:yeah: I even heard of one guy that recorded his infant child's crying and put it on his caller, and it turned out to be his most effective call!

It's funny how we forget that we too are prey animals without our technologies
