Title: whats a good coyote call for a rookie
Post by: uplandhunter870 on December 03, 2009, 10:52:08 AM: Im going to start taking coyote hunting a little bit more seriously this winter. im basically a rookie when it comes to calling dogs, so what would be a good call to start out with? im looking for a mouth blown call simply because the electric calls are a bit out of my part-part-time college student budget.

any info will be greatly appreciated,
thanks,
Steve

In addition to their goodies, Primos makes a good instructional dvd with Randy Anderson...Calling All Coyotes The Truth series...good luck!

Post by: Dicko Bob on December 07, 2009, 03:47:08 AM: I have a power stash of different calls. Over the years primos has been my goto calls, but when it comes to coyote callin The Verminators have produced "tweety" which is my favorite reed call by far! Others will do the job but this is my cofidence call! I can produce rabit squal and fawn distress very easily while controlling volume.

There are a couple different models. I would start with a regular tweety. There is a long range tweety as well that is a little more difficult to control. The syco tweety makes excellent bird noises when you learn how to use it, cause it can be a little bitch.

If you are just starting out get yourself some primos "Callin' Coyotes" & a Verminator tape. you can find em' in spokane at the Old Sportsmans Warehouse. Its called somethin else now...

One of the best things you can do is practice with these calls a lot. You may find that a different model works better for you.

More than the call a lot a guys talk about your setup, which out weighs your call in most situations.

Most of all keep the sun at you back and do not skyline yourself when you set up. Third is your sent if you are hunting where there is not a lot of human activity. If your are hunting for rural coyotes it does not matter.

Good luck! Practice Practice Practice

Post by: rasbo on December 07, 2009, 05:14:05 AM: practice at home and dial in your sounds.And please don't scream from your truck.Give the wildlife you disturbed on the way in to a set alittle time to settle down.then call.On the wet side in thick cover I like to start out low then get into it after a while.the verminator psycho, I like, double reed.But bearmanricks calls are my go to.Rainshadows calls I don't own yet,but get a knife from him.Today's weather is great for calling.
