Hey folks, hope this is the right section. Anyways, have 3 calves eaten by coyotes so far here in the last 2 weeks, getting to be a real problem. I have called back in the day with my buddy and he had a a cd player with a pretty good sized speaker on it and it worked awesome. I have tried using mouth calls, I cant seem to do it and just dont have the time to. I have one of those hand helds and its not worth a damn, real quiet. My question is, where is the best place to get a quality coyote call with some voice behind it, as I say im out 3 calves already so im not affraid to drop some coin on a nice unit. Thanks.

I've got a FoxPro, and it is a very nice unit. But don't expect to do much damage to the coyote population with it. The extension service here estimated that to actually make a dent in the population, 75% of the population would have to be killed annually for 15 years before a decline was noticed. You may need to also consider trapping or poison if the problems continue. Although I have noticed since I started hunting them, I was always shooting coyotes that were bigger and in better shape than the average coyote I saw from the truck or tractor window. Perhaps the coyotes bold enough to take on a calf were also bold enough to come to a call.

I found a calf yesterday that had been eaten, buthe was dead when the coyotes found him. I also noticed hogs had also eaten on him. Something was wrong with the calf's jaw, and I'm not real sure he could even nurse. I have lost my share of calves, but most of the time the coyotes have just been there for clean up.

I will look into the Foxpro and the others mentioned. I agree Texan about whipping out 75%, but I just figured doing somthing to them is better then doing nothing, ya know?

North Texan

Yup. Plus, they're just fun to shoot. It beats deer and turkey hunting to pieces.

flys_it_dies

Agree, they are a blast to shoot.

I will help you out with your yote problem, provided I have a bed to sleep in at night.. Also, did you know that the out of the "WORLDS" coyote population, 70% of all of them have have mange and carry the mites that transmit the problem. It goes to show, the population has to be checked.
