Calling


Recommended Posts

Well with the full moon, anybody been out calling. Called in two pairs right before dark to separate nights, got one from each set, one set was full of mange, and the others were very nice, Shoulda of had the double on the ugly ones, and the two nice ones circled at bout 250-300yds, did manage to get the big male. Went out Monday night started right before dark, and called a total of 9 coyotes. Only managed to get 2, and hit one. My shooter had a rough night so i took the last two. Responding best to the howl's, and waiting quite a while on each set, very fun night. Anybody else been out.

my friend and i went out a couple nights behind a large factory; using the light pollution to our advantage. called in a fox night before christmas eve using bird distress sounds; and the next night 100 yards down the line fence we had a pair of 'yotes hang up just out of shotgun range. called those in with a fawn in distress sound. my daytime calling sets (which have been limited due to lack of snow) have produced nothing so far, other than some howls in reply to my howls. cant wait for some lasting snow. that should really help me out a lot.

Went out the Saturday right before Christmas just to call at a "possible" hunting spot and work on my calling confidence. It was last minute, I was a ways from home.....(no gun with me)........DUMB, DUMB, DUMB! Howled a few times, added some cottontail and jack rabbit distress...5 minutes later had a coyote close to within 100 yards. Confidence went WAY up but unfortunately an opportunity was missed.

Went out last Friday morning to the same spot, setting up using the wind in our favor. I used the same calls as the previous weekend. Called one in and my buddy shot it. 70 yards and it was mangy. Confidence in my calling is now VERY high!

Question: If you guys are after both fox and coyote, do you howl? I'm confident that is what got these coyotes to commit but am I ruining a good fox opportunity? Thanks in advance!

I've seen fox bail out of areas at the sound of a howler and had a pair coming to the distress call when a handfull of yotes started howlin in response,the fox wasted no time in changing directions and getting out of there fast! Start out with distress calls in fox country and go to howlers towards the end of your set,you just have to stay put longer.

I practice my calls in my house. I don't even step outside to hit the howler because I fear educating the critters in my neighborhood.

Sounds like you got lucky and maybe didn't educate him too bad if he's dead now. grin.gif

    • Luxury RV camping has become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for ways to enjoy the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. With the right equipment and preparation, luxury RV camping can be a truly unforgettable experience. In this essay, we will provide you with the ultimate guide to luxury RV camping, including tips on choosing the right RV, selecting the best campsite, and packing for your trip.   The first step to planning a luxury RV camping trip is to choose the right RV. There are a variety of different types of RVs available, ranging from small and compact trailers to large and luxurious motorhomes. The right RV for you will depend on your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   One popular option for luxury RV camping is a Class A motorhome. These motorhomes are typically the largest and most luxurious RVs available, with spacious interiors, full kitchens, and even multiple bathrooms. They often come equipped with high-end features such as leather upholstery, flat-screen televisions, and high-quality audio systems. Class A motorhomes are also the most expensive type of RV, but they offer the ultimate in comfort and luxury.   Another popular option for luxury RV camping is a fifth wheel trailer. These trailers are typically larger than travel trailers and are designed to be towed by a pickup truck. They offer many of the same amenities as Class A motorhomes, including full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, and high-end features such as surround sound systems and flat-screen televisions. Fifth wheel trailers are often less expensive than Class A motorhomes but still offer a high level of comfort and luxury.   Once you have chosen the right RV for your luxury camping trip, the next step is to select the perfect campsite. There are a variety of different types of campsites available, ranging from basic, no-frills campsites to high-end RV resorts with all the amenities. When selecting a campsite, it is important to consider your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   If you are looking for a truly luxurious camping experience, consider staying at an RV resort. These resorts often offer a wide range of amenities, including swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, and even golf courses. They also typically offer high-end services such as concierge service, valet parking, and room service. RV resorts can be expensive, but they offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort.   If you are looking for a more affordable camping experience, consider staying at a state or national park. These parks offer a variety of different campsites, ranging from basic tent sites to RV sites with electrical and water hookups. While state and national parks may not offer the same level of luxury as RV resorts, they do offer the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors.     Once you have chosen the perfect RV and campsite, the final step is to pack for your luxury camping trip. When packing for a luxury RV camping trip, it is important to focus on comfort and convenience. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather and activities you have planned, as well as comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.   In addition to clothing, it is important to pack all the essentials you will need for your trip. This includes bedding, towels, toiletries, and any medications or other personal items you may need. It is also important to pack food and drinks, as well as any cooking supplies you will need for meals. If you are camping in the cold weather, bring the Ocoopa Union 5s rechargeable hand warmers are easy to use for camping. First, charge it, then turn it on, and finally, place it in your gloves or pockets. Additionally, the rechargeable hand warmer has 4 heat settings, allowing you to adjust the temperature to various weather conditions. With a large 10000mAh battery, it can provide up to 15 hours of heat and could use as a power bank, making it an ideal hand warmer for extended outdoor activities.   Finally, when packing for your luxury RV camping trip, don’t forget to pack entertainment options such as books, movies, and games. While luxury camping offers many opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, it is also important to have options for downtime and relaxation.
