Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
Hey, I decided I am going to give this coyote hunting a try. I will be using a 270. Can anyone give me some advice on some good calls to get. I will consider electronic or mouth calls. I does not matter. Any help would be great.
thanks
Primos Model 316 Cottontail is a very easy and effective call to use. It will freeze up on you if it is really cold and you don't protect it, though. I carry about 25 different calls with me when I go on a hunt, and the Primos is one that is always hanging from my lanyards.
There are aa bunch of good mouth calls on the market that won't break the bank like an electronic caller might. I use a Circe 3-in-1, but their are a bunch of other calls that I have seen used that work. My favorite brands are Circe, Lohman, and Burnham Brothers off the top of my head. Here are some links:
Hey guys there is a great forum that is primarily about predator hunting. They are always eager to help with tips and ideas. You might check them out. Here is the web address:
Get both, electric and mouth. In an area thats all called out using a mouth call could probably make a big difference. Learn how to do the lip sqeak too.
i like the hand calls. you can change them up and do different things to lure in a once called yote. where a electric call is the same and can't change it without changeing tapes. after hunting an area long enough they get used to the same things over and over. plus you can get a lot of hand calls for the price of and electic
