I did a set Wednesday morning in a spot where I have seen sign and have done a couple sets early this year I usually use my fox pro with my decoy attached.

since I hunt alone I decided not to set up the fox pro since it takes a bit more time and can be a bit more invasive and noisy on set up.

I decided to use my carver mouth calls in rabbit distress . I settled in behind a stump and started my rabbit distress mouth call, I blew on this for about 30 seconds and then stopped and looked down the field , nothing I thought, turned to my left and there was coyote standing, he

had no idea where the call came from,I had some brush in front of me to my left didn’t want to shoot until he cleared that , when he did I let the tikka 243 pushing a Winchester varmint X 58gr fly dropped him I his tracks, I then saw the second coyote high tailing towards the woods, I barked,Ike dog a few times and got her to stop and she turned headon toward me at 100 yards or so, I put the Crosshairs on her chest and squeezed she did the 10-15 spins and dropped.

two dogs down in the the first minute of calling.

 

what I want to say is don’t under estimate the mouth call,I e called in more with the carver rabbit distress then I have with my fox pro.

Thanks Kev

 

it was quite a rush by the time I got the second one stopped when I put the cross hairs on her they were bouncing all over the place I was able to settle them down with a deep breath.

Had lots of trail cams out during deer season,had a pic of a really big 10 point but never saw him , I did get a nice 8 point but put lots of hours in this year.

I haven’t made anymore TC because I’m thinking the 10 I have is enough for now and they always work, some of these are 15 years old and still taking pictures not sure I could get that out of a boughten model.

Thats awesome. The coyote population in my area is low right at the moment. But, I have noticed increased sign (marking territories) over the past few weeks due to the mating season. I might give this a try myself.           >Pete

Congrats. I agree it is hard to beat a craver call

Cheers

If someone wants to try a new spot this way I'd be glad to show you the spot
I've had 2or3 totes on cam last year and double this year, even seeing where they've got a deer.
They're infringing on my bunny hunting and driving the numbers down

Nice job , I carry two mouth calls myself at all times , rabbit distress and a squealer call , both have put fur in the cross hairs several times .

Just never know once set up how long it take for one to come out , first min and two down is I say a excellent day in any books .

Congrats !
