Very nice Skank
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Oh its nothing secret, lots of people do it, its just something i e never tried before.  Using coyote vocals only.  Ive had a couple nice open reed howlers sitting around for a couple years (the one i used is in the pic next to the dogs face) but ive never actually used them.  I guess i just didnt feel confident that i could make the right noise, or even use an open reed call well at all.  But i decided i needed to try it out, so the night before i went out i practiced with the howler in my house, then practiced some more in my truck on the way up there.
  I got there and sat in my truck waiting maybe 45 minutes for enough daylight to walk without tripping, and when i got out of my truck to put on my coat and load my rifle i heard sond howling a little ways off on the other side of a creek.  So i snuck across the creek and found a perfect spot to set up. i made 1 howl then just set the call down and waited.  Id say it was only a max of 3 minutes (i forgot to look at my watch to time it) but probably less when the yote popped up over a little terrain feature about 80 yards away, trotting in looking for me.  First time ive ever tried to call one in that way, and i nailed it.  Got skunked the rest of the day though.

I try to be.  :tup:  i walk away from a calling session empty handed far, far more often than not.  What i may lack in skill, i try to make up for in persistence.
Sometimes quantity over quality works!
