I've shot a few coyotes... The 22-250 does the job well... I've shot a few with a 20 gauge to.

The main thing with a shotgun is how it patterns, everyone is different. Shoot different loads and change choke tubes until you get a tight pattern. I use my daughter's 20 gauge because my old 870 Wingmaster doesn't pattern buckshot at all. It's 2 3/4 so it's limited.

No we use it as a yardage marker though. On repeat stands I have rocks or flags posted at 100 and 200 yrds. Makes on the fly yardage calculating must easier using a thermal scope

Ordered a Wicked Light yesterday. Just got the red with all the gun mount stuff. Looking at getting some mouth callers to mix it up on the yote sounds. Any recommendations on mouth calls brand wise?

Grissel, have hit my Johnny Stewart speaker with a few pellets through out the 30 years of calling. Coon will attack your speaker at times and calling at night can increase the odds of mishaps like misjudging your target and.....speaker..lol

I use the ruffidog with a lot of success. F+T sells them.

Primos has one called a cat squaller I think. I can't make a cat sound with it to save my life but it does do a real good job calling both fox and yotes. It makes some Distress type sounds that I can change the pitch of very easily.

I prefer open reed calls but use both open and closed reed. Most open reeds I can change their pitch easily by adjusting the reed.

I use a diaphram howler now, which I can also use for distress sounds.

Main thing I look for is how easy or how little air it takes to use a call. I want one that after 20 seconds to a minute I aint about to fall over from lack of air myself. The sounds they make usually can be adjusted so I don't much care what they sound like out of the package.

I don't use mouth reeds but love my closed reeds from Foxpro. I have 3 of them: Jackal N Hide,Tantrum, and either 4k9 or 4k9 pup (open reeds). I love the first 2 the best.

Pretty good night for as warm as it was. Had 2 runners that couldn't be found.
Seems like breeding season is almost upon us

Just got in the house from the fur shed. I'm about pooped after skinning last night's yotes and today's catch.
Ill type of the calling process tomorrow. But we run thermal and we'll bring a 3rd guy with night vision if we're near any homes for Id purposes

I wasn't on the controller but believe two dogs were mouth call located, challenged, continued using more aggressive coyote howls/barks. Switched over to mouse squeaks once they started to come in. 2 females

Last stand
3rd dog-female- locator mouth call, challenge, female whimpering, rabbit distress, this dog snuck in

4th dog-male- this yote started challenging us, unsure of the exact barks but alot of challenges and yodels
Unsure of the duration and exact sounds. When my head is down on the stock scanning , I get into the zone and it's hard to track time

Hi Aaron, got bored and went back and looked at some of my old Posts. Forgot about this one. I want to thank you for your many Posts and advice to me on this calling post. I have been out a few times this year and still no luck. Mainly behind my house, which a very big hit and miss. I have learned how to call much better I believe though, even though I haven't had any luck yet this year. A lot more of an understanding of it. I guess this old dog can learn a few tricks yet. Thanks again.
