Title: calls
Post by: bosshogg112 on April 18, 2010, 01:03:31 PM
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.

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. :tup:

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.

I picked up a set of Rick's production calls at the WWPHA meeting today.  I'm impressed, played with them all the way home.  They are easy blowing, have great sound and the deralin barrels feel silky in your hand, a classy set of calls that will be used alot.  I have a whole drawer full of calls from old JS and Herters Rubber Band calls to a Psyco Tweety.  These new calls went to the place of honor , hanging off the mirror in the truck so I can practice with them and grab them when needed.   Thanks Rick.
