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.
