Crow calls for yotes ?
« on: July 18, 2018, 02:59:26 PM »
Read an article yesterday, think it was in American hunter magazine. The guy said that when areas are hunted hard and coyotes get call shy, he goes to crow calls, crows fighting, maybe throws in some hawk calls and some rabbit in distress, all at the same time. Using both e-callers combined with mouth calls. My understanding is that this mix of calls tell the yotes something is dead or dying. The birds are fighting over it and It's feeding time.
I am not a coyote hunter and have never heard of this being a tactic. Any one done this ?

Sure it will work.  As with anything else new it will only work for a little while until it is over used.  Using the same sound over and over at the same location is the problem.  I find that in heavily hunted areas finding stands where a coyote doesn't have to expose himself to respond to the call is very effective.  I don't think it is the sound that spook coyotes but more that when he comes out into the open somebody shoots at him. 

The hard part with the above info is going in and setting up a stand where you might not even see a coyote until he is 20 yards from you.  Then stand selection becomes so very much more important as you need to use the terrain and wind to put the coyote on the "X" in FRONT of you.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I agree with AWS.  Sounds being used are about 4th or 5th on my list on being successful calling in coyotes.  Everything about stand selection, getting in undetected, and remaining undetected to responsive coyotes ranks above the sounds being used.  When I pack around the CS-24 with the aux speaker, I do like to use the prey in distress with the confidence sounds of crows or blue jays squawking.
