yotewannabe Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Okay, so soon (after deer season, of course) my buddy and I are going to start coyote hunting. I was wondering, for eastern coyotes, what would be the best sounds to use. I know cottontail distress, because those rascals..erm... wascals are everywhere, here. I am most likely going to make Varmint Al's el cheapo coyote call (im too cheap to buy a real one.) So i was wondering what sounds to download. Thanks Oh! And I live in the South if that helps.

cb11 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Here in VA we like to use raccoon pups or rabbit in distress, depending on what you think there may be more of in the area. They're tough to call and most times we wind up getting a fox or two to come in instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotewannabe Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Here in VA we like to use raccoon pups or rabbit in distress, depending on what you think there may be more of in the area. They're tough to call and most times we wind up getting a fox or two to come in instead. Thanks for your help. Out in the country, here, at night the coyotes sing every night. And on occasion, the dog wants out to join the chorus. Have you had any experience with woodpecker distress calls? Btw, just an interesting story, i was deer hunting the other day and i heard like a crying noise. My first instinct told me it was a child then i thought to myself that it could be a bobcat or something. That went on for maybe 30 secs and then out of the blue came two gray foxes. I ended up killing both of them. I found myself fascinated by the fact that the foxes came SO quickly to the sound. From that point on, i have wanted to go predator hunting really bad.

wtnhunt Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Might consider a yellowhammer. Have not had great luck with calling here but I have had better luck calling in yotes with that call than I have any other that I have tried.

Ravin R10 man Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Best sound for a yote?.... How about...."BANG!"...LOL Rabbit squealer call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) I'd say woodpecker or bird distress, fawn distress, coon distress, pup distress, and cottontail distress. Howling, barks, and yips work all right too. That's what I'd use here in NY. You just have to put together sounds of something going on and not just make random noises. I still haven't gotten out yet this winter. I can't believe it. I ordered some snow camo cover ups from Cabelas too and the jacket is on backorder. Sorry to get off on a tangent.

cb11 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Good point, you have to make it sound like a real situation to get the yotes to come. Foxes are stupid, turn on the call and just let it run and in they come. The yotes don't make it that easy for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoorzman Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Great points! Sounds as though we got some real predator hunters in here! We should start a club. lol. What also can help is tying fishing line to a little fuzz toy and having it out wherever it can be seen. Twitch it around while calling. It adds alot to the hunt!
