Title: hand call or electronic
Post by: Ghost Hunter on May 19, 2008, 06:56:33 PM: Curious what is everyones preference, or which has worked best for you :dunno: I've had a coyote come within arms reach with a hand call, and had a bobcat sneek by at under 20 yards last weekend with an electronic :o That was kinda cool. Finding peels in the Capital finally.

Early into bear season I call so much that my diaphram hurts.
