I have a 40 aqcre piece of property over on the wet side that is rolling pastures with a couple of big brushy draws. I see a lot of coyotes out there and have taken a few but have never tried calling. I would like to give it a shot and was wondering what the best type of call would be best for this time of year. I have a dying rabbit type call but. have watched videos where they seem to use an assortment of calls depending on time of year and conditions. Any suggestions? I apologize if this topic has been hammered over and over as I am not new to the site but new to this section. Thanks.

Give the distress call you have a try...bet it will work!

wheres your property at blacktailer? probably way up north, but if not id love to bring the foxpro out with ya and call some dogs in

Yeah it's about 3-3.5 hours from Orting. I am up here in Lynden. Property is about 3 miles from the Can. border. I appreciate the offer, and if you ever get up this way, let me know. I wouldn't mind "picking your brain" a bit your blacktail tactics. They seem to be working quite well.

Do you have a barbwire fence next to your calling area?
That far north fawn distress is what I would use! and shake the fence a little.

Remember you can never be hid to much. Also watch the wind.

blacktailer,
any number of distress sound would work. the connection seems to be more primal then whats on the dinner plate each day. not saying if theres a particular food source around that it wont work better, but its pretty well documented as far as i am concerned that the distress sound does not need to necisarrily be a targeted food species locally available.
if you want to get a few calls cheap i suggest getting a hold of bearmanrick. i picked up a few of his production calls for a few dollars and was extremely impressed with the sounds.

You can also pic up a few vidios. I personally like the Randy Anderson ones and have learned a lot.

Well i've been out a number of times with just a little $40 electronic call and i've had tons come on in. Make sure that when ya find a place to set up ya have a good view. Also, wait a couple to a few minutes before making the first call. Pause a couple minutes between each call. I live about 15 miles from the border over on the east side and they come running for the cottontail in distress

I use mouth calls, over here on the wet side I have had good success with cotton distress. If it is in farm land I have also used pup distress and I have a real raspy call that I use for a domestic cat distress call.
