Coyote / Bobcat Calling

[rut-ro]

I like to suspend my foxpro by tying a sting to it and hanging it from a tree fence or stick. To me when the wind blows I feel the sounds traveling in all directions gives a more live like distress

[Perkins7581]

I've hunted them in day and night if I had to choose it would be on a cloudy day with little wind. I like using mouth calls my favorite call for cat would be a wood ****** distress. I'll call for about 8-10 seconds and I wait about 15 to 3o seconds. I have never let the call just run or mouth call if you think about it a rabbit or birds lungs it's that big uless they can suck air from both ends!

Everything you could want to know about killing coyotes and then some.

This year my strategy has changed slightly but still the same basic sequence. During the day will place call 20-30 yards away from me either in front or to the side depending on the stand location. Will then play cottontail distress, nutty nuthatch or woodpecker, and a jack rabbit distress sound each for 5-7 minutes and in random order on each sit unless I am having better luck with one sound then I use it first and a little longer. Will sit on stand for minimum of 20 minutes per stand. Have killed a bunch this year between 5-10 minute mark. But have killed several between 10-15 and a couple between 15-20 minutes. Night calling same thing only call sits in the basket of the high seat or on the hood of the truck. And don't shut that light off and once you see eyes don't come off them as you may never pick them back up again.

Everything I have read (other than this thread says to keep the call going if you are calling for cats as they loose attention easily. Most articles I Read said steady for 20-30 minutes before breaking the call.

[okrattler]

I run the call continuously for at least 30 minutes if I'm calling for cats. If I know for a fact a cat is there I'll stay for an hour. The longest it's ever taken for a cat to come in was right at 49 minutes if I remember right. The shortest amount of time was about 2 minutes. Having said that I've called them in while calling for coyotes with a hand call. Not calling constantly so either will work.

Next time we are at the lease remind me and I will let you borrow my spinning decoy. I didn't even think about it last weekend.

I have been calling for over 50 years and would rather call coyotes in daytime than anything other than hunting lions with hounds. I prefer to use hand calls, especially the Mini Blaster but use electronics when we are shooting TV. I am old fashioned and still hunt with the bolt guns in .223 or .22-.250.
Nothing wrong with deer and turkey hunting but I feel that calling coyotes in the daytime is much more challenging.

He has forgotten more about predator calling than most of us will ever know!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I have been blessed to have been raised on a ranch where I began hunting VERY early and hunted something most every day. I was also blessed to get to hunt with Murry Burnham back in the 80's and several other really experienced callers including Larry Symes from OK and Phil Lyne from Cotulla. You can learn a little something from folks who are older or hunt every bit as much as you do. Predator calling has really changed in the last twenty years with all of the new high tech equipment on the market today. Thank goodness, it is still the fastest growing hunting sport and I see no reason for that to change.
I pray that I can keep hunting and learning for many more years.
Adios,

By the way, we just finished our 6th season of CARNIVORE which airs on the PURSUIT CHANNEL. You can go to CARBONTV and see many of our old episodes, 24/7.
Thanks again and Adios,

I really enjoyed the episode with Phil Lyne. Loved his Ruger. I bet the tour of the factory was awesome.

The tour of the factory was great. I had toured a couple of gun factories in the past where all of the workers were union. Most of the employees did not want to be there and plants were not very clean or neat. Ruger is in NH which is a "right to work" state and workers were non union. They really wanted to be there and took great pride in the products that they produce. You could have eaten off the floor. Touring the Ruger factory made me proud to be on their great team.

I tried for the first time in a couple years to call some in this past weekend.

I let the distressed cottontail run for about 8 minutes, then mute for 5.....did this for about an hour.with no luck

any advice on calling yotes or cats in and what calls to use? I have a FoxPro and a couple of decoys.
