It is real bold because alot of callers dont know if it is their calling that they dont call something in, is it WHAT, us guy that has done it for a day or 2 or some time it is the 12 year old that does it, but what make a good caller, is it the call, is it the gun, is it WHAT, the guys that know, has figured it out, WHAT is it?

You can put the world proclaimed best caller in an area that has no coyotes and he won't call anything in! In my opinion it has a lot more to do with your location rather than a persons calling.

that photo was yesterday called in 2 knocked both down one got up and never could find him, but it was only 50 yards behind my house, and time of day has alot to do with it it, just because you hear coyotes at night in a spot they may be bedded or hunting in other spots, ive called and killed over 7 this year under the same tree 50 yards from my house, i had a bad day yesterday lost a 350 dollar bobcat to got hair but hopfully it is only belly fur, no blood and no snow to trak and alot of rim rock and holes and cracks, even went and got my dog to find him, nothing ill go set up at the same area and see what happens.

Oh and I couldn't agree more with location. Quality sets and get in undetected.

I live in MN and went out twice to the same spot/s I have had coyotes responding to calls but out of the 8 or 9 hours of hunting I have only got responses for about 2 minutes total and nothing has stepped out. What sequences of calls do you guys do?

Location is huge, I sure feel sorry for you poor suckers in minnesota. man that musts suck! I do think however my partner and I can work 90% of coyotes and have a shot at killing them.. calling, or spot and stalk..

I called marty last night, and aksed him if he wanted to call, he said call the weather.. I called him back and said, well they are calling for 30-40 mph winds. with gusts to 50-55.. Ill be at your house at seven :mrgreen: .. we didnt touch a single call. we spot and stalked, and set ambushes on some groups close to town. in an area that gets hammered by the local "foxpro'ers".. we killed five coyotes.. Work them, and kill them.. every coyotes it wired the same.. Cover, Food, and interaction with other coyotes.. We like to key in on the food side of things :)
