Looking at buying the mini elec predator call from CTC 110db . Are they any good ? Anybody use one . $20.00
Personally I think you might be better off just picking up a couple mouth/hand calls instead...They will be a lot louder and have a proven track record....
X2 with hand call, I bought a small hand electric call couple years ago and never use it
Thanks ... It doesn't work , no good or just don't use ? There not as loud as hand calls ?
Yeah there are not as loud and I find they don't sound real great, the only e-caller I would use are some foxpro or something like that...but they ain't cheap
Yep ok thanks guys .l
Got one with the extra speaker to give away, just got the FoxPro Wildfire on Saturday. had it out today and 1000 times better, still no yotes.
No disrespect friend but if its 1000 times better why "still no yotes"?Quote:

I am pretty sure he was referring to the performance, sound quality and volume....Quote:

I have the Johnny Stewart 2 and I dont use it as much as my mouth call. I find once you get a yotes attention, the mouth call can be manipulated more to have a suspicious yote commit. For instance, last Sat I was showing a friend how I use a diaphragm call and within seconds a yote came running to us as we sat in the truck. It literally came right to our bumper before it took off! I will NEVER show anyone how to use a call without a gun in my hand again! LOL
Alright Impact...time to go with you.....Quote:

LOL They will come! I read alot of good things about the fox pro and my guess is that you have to get used to how to work it. Listen to the guys who have one and have had luck using it. You'll get the hang of it and in no time you'll be the one answering the questions.Quote:

I called, he came, I caught a glimpse of him but he wouldn't expose himself and leave the treeline. He hung around moving back and forth until the crows found him and begun fussing/harassing him, then he left without ever giving me a shot.
Yep. Perfect setup alright............
HAHA Sorry not a Ford, it was a Tundra!Quote:

Start using howls now through march and you will see some dogs come in.
Also mouth calls doing whimpers really gets the males out to see who's screwing the pooch!
Gonna YouTube some calling patterns, on FP I have for (preset, volume 15) P1-Coyote locator and P2 - Cotton Tail distress. Tried female challenge bark, and vole squeaks. Lately haven't even heard a call back. Going out again Sat/Sun to Marlborough Forest. I wish I knew some farmers to work the land for them. Try hitting the farms this spring and get permission to hunt some private land and coyotes this year. The Journey continues back to the days of youth and hunting, although with more knowledge/respect to the rules.
If all else fails try kissing the palm of you hand.... sounds like a distressed rabbit! :)
