Most effective coyote calls?

The Primos Lil'dog is widely available and has been a great call for me. Also the TT Extreme (the orange one) by Tony Tebbe, available on his website. Great call. I lost mine today in the field, I will be replacing it shortly. Google "predator university" that's Tony's website.

ill be using my marlin .357
I love hunting them with leverguns. Good luck!
 
cocker spaniel

i was looking at an electronic call in walmart recently. i found it humorous that one of the recordings was of a cocker spaniel puppy.
 
Locate an old "Audobon" bird call,..

its a pewter shaft that is twisted inside a wood barrel.

I heard that is really bring in call-shy coyotes.

I havae never used it personally, but was told about it by a an old "graybeard" back in the late 60's when I started hunting.

Electronic calls

FOXPRO electronic callers!

I have the FX5 (discontinued) but it is amazingly awesome!

Very effective and I have over 50 pre-downloaded calls for all applications.
 
I started out with the Randy Anderson series from primos. Really nice calls and easy to use. Once I saved up enough I bought a foxpro Firestorm but at $500 you have to do ALOT of hunting to pay it off, granted you can use it for just about everything that needs to be called to bag(if its legal to use electronic calls).
 
I use the Randy Anderson Primo Calls as well. Most of them work pretty well and I just received the electronic version for my birthday. Gonna try it out soon.

I bought most of Anderson's DVDs as well and practice based on his usage as well.
 
Whichever call you can call the best with will work just fine. I'm still using an old Weems "Wildcall" from back in the 60's or early 70's. I replace the voice when it goes bad, tune it a bit, and keep calling.

Lohman/Circe, Carlton, and many others make good calls that are easy to use, and are readily availble (Wal-Mart, etc).

Also no shortage of custom call makers out there these days, and their calls will work just as well, and sometimes are easier to use. I have a cow horn and a buffalo horn howler, both made by Rich Cronk. If he's still making calls, they're worth a look.

Neighbors cat in a small cage. :)

I like to leave the gut piles, then wait till dark them yotes might show up for a tasty treat and they get slugged.

Was outside last friday night about 10pm, heard them yotes chasing a smaller dog, was right up to my fenceline I yelled real loud and they run off that dog was my neighbors so I took him home lucky dog they would have caught him and had a meal so we are getting our group up and we will be setting up next couple weekends. We use rabbit calls and stinky meat to draw them in.

We used to run greyhounds on them, they would run the yote to ground then the pit bull was let loose. Dont have pits now tho,
 
I agree with Daryl, any call you are confident in will call them in!

I like an open reed call myself. I use the Primos lil dog.
You can do everything including howls & all distress calls with some practice.

DixieboyFL mentioned the Randy Anderson DVD. They sale a lil dog with the DVD at most stores. Its a good buy!

I would also suggest looking at a decoy. The MOJO Critter runs around $40 & works. It keeps the coyote's attention while you get ready for the shot. It has produced for me many times!
Watch some videos online as well to get an idea of how its done. There are a lot of free videos on Bucking the Odds. There is also lots of predator hunting knowledge passed around there as well! If you stop by say hi, I am "JJ" there as well.

Good luck buddy!
 
Geococcyx Californianus

I believe mimicking the call of the Geococcyx Californianus bird is the most effective means of attracting coyotes & have witnessed this on film on many occassions.
The short "Be-Beep" call should be repeated frequently to attract wiley coyotes.
 
May be irrelevant, but.....

This time of year deer products can be found at deeply discounted prices .... I am a slight cheap-wad when it comes to baits and calls.

I have been tinkering with deer calls and use them as coyote calls... many if you pull of the mouthpiece will become open reed .... I have not used any yet, I am still experimenting....

I have some actual coyote calls just looking at alternatives.


On a side note I found that a buck-grunter if sucked in backwards with hands cupped over the former mouthpiece makes an excellent hog grunt.
I can't think of a practical use for it except maybe to cause a pause to get good shot.
