Since I can't blow a call, I use electronic callers instead.
Should I place them in opposite directions from my position?
One soft and the other loud or some other combination?
-
most people just use one caller, what two do you have?
If I were using two callers I'd have one doing coyote and put it out a ways and have the other caller doing a rabbit/fawn...playing the victim. Bears will poach a coyote kill in a heartbeat.

Bears will poach a coyote kill in a heartbeat.
In late november 2017, i was creeping through the woods in heavy fog. Ran into 2 agitated coyotes. shot one, missed the other. Left the yote laying there to retrieve on my way out. Didnt get at most 100 yards further when i walked right into a big boar eating a deer. Literal spitting distance. had a puckering standoff for a minute and i walked backward with my gun pointed at his head. Im pretty sure the bear just stole that deer from the coyotes. the yote had a real nice winter fur on him, and my taxi was able to work his magic on the nasty exit wound from my .308. i wanted like hell to shoot that bear, but it was a week after bear season closed.

Looks like I will be using my .270 with either 140 gr or 150 gr bullets. I used 140 gr at 300 yards to get my big horn and 150 gr for my moose.
I am still looking for my reloading notes. I have them in a book, but I can't find the book. When my wife passed away, I either stored or gave away many of my books.
Hopefully I kept the book I am looking for. The loads were real screamers. Nothing like I would find in todays reload manuals. The max loads I was using were way more than today's manuals.
And I have been using those loads for 25 years.
