I have always just used my howler to locate and call, and it works "ok" for me at best. But I keep thinking there has gota be something or some way that might work better.
I was thinking of trying a siren but were can I get one thats not a part of an e-caller? I would like an e-caller but I like my hand calls, its just me
thanks
Matt

You can get a electric hand held siren from E.L.K. products. They are'nt too spendy either..

they all work different at certain times of the year. Pups at the hole seem to answer a siren better. Adults like group yip howls or a single coyote doing lone howls it just depends i have tried three and four things at one location before i got them to "light up"

Re: Best type of locator??
A siren is something I think every guy who is serious about calling should have in his truck. Truck mounted or handheld is just fine. I have seen a lot of cheap ones that are not very loud available in the market. I do think louder is better. There is some discussion on them being to loud, the coyote will bark and whole out past what you can hear them. That is another topic though.
