Sequences for hand calling
« on: July 23, 2009, 06:08:59 PM »
I have a coyote howler, and a rabbit in distress/mouse in distress call.  Also a crow call.  I can run all of them fine, had them for years, even though I don't really hunt any of these animals, I'm a caller at heart.

So, looking into shooting some yotes, coons, and possibly a fox.

My question is:  What are some of the basic sequences of calls you experienced hunters use.

Hypothetical Example:  I use two deep barks and a loud powerful higher pitched howl as a locating call, hit it, wait for a couple mins. listen for replies, if nothing replies then move on to this...   
Or something like, when I run into tough conditions, I go right into the wounded yote squeals/fighting yote for a minute or two, then a few deeper barks followed with more squealing and end it with a lone howl.

I can do the sounds, I just need to know how to put it together and what it means.  How to do a lone dog, a pack sequence, fighting sequence etc...  and what some of you guys like to do in certain situations. 
What you use for fox, and coons would help as well.

I appreciate the help and advice, my howler came with a tape and explanation way back in the day, but that stuff was lost a while back.  I like hand calls, never been much for an e-caller, so as much as that may be a better way to go, I'd like to stick with the hand calls.

i usually start my stand with a few howls wait a few minutes and go into a distress call of some sort (usually rabbit) and call every minute or so untill something shows or ive been there about an hour i know some people only stay 15-30 minutes i like to wait longer.

Alright, now are those few howls a locator call???  Meant to get a response, or is it something like a general greeting call that should pull any coyote in the area...

Thanks
