[tanman]

has anyone ever used a sceery rabbit distress call i just got one and have playing arround with it and wondering if there are any little tricks or hand positions to help me learn faster... all help is greatly Appreciated

Basically any with any closed reed distress call, cup your hand aroung the front of the caller to control volume and a little bit of the tone, open and close your hands to kind of "waahhwahhh" the call as you blow in the other end.

A wounded rabbit really raises cain when it is hurt, so don't be afraid to really lay into the caller. 15-20 second burst, then wait 2-5 minutes and hit another 15-20 sec. burst. Start out with a little less volume at first in case one is close by. move the call side to side as you call too. Good luck....

Thanks Val, congrats on the addition to your lineage, Gramps, or are you going something more trendy like Boppy?

Tanman, where are you located and where are you hunting? Welcome to FM by the way...

I used to deer hunt right across the river from Houston, so I know you are thick with coyotes in that part of the state. Lots of ravines and "coulee's" down there.

TANMAN I've hunted with some people that blew a call so bad I was embarassed for them but they still managed to call critters in. Hard to screw up too bad with a rabbit call if everything else is done right they'll come in if in the mood.

Houston is down around rushford and lanesboro along the root river. Basically SE of you about 60 miles. I will hunt coyotes where ever, flat land is hard unless there is cover for them to be in, I like some hills so I can get in with out letting them see me. get a good handle on the calls, and be ready to not move. If you goose hunt and call, you should pick it up pretty quick.
