Wildlife Callers

Field Tactics: Quick changes to your location, and the addition of new sounds can bring coyotes back in – even in these extreme circumstances. 

Predator callers, especially the newer guys, often wonder when a stand is “burned” and what if anything can be done when a coyote has winded them, or they have fired a missed shot at one.  The short answer is yes, something can be done.  Here’s a video that demonstrates that a coyote can be called (in this case, called and wounded) and then immediately re-called if the caller reacts quickly, changes positions, and gives the coyote a new scenario and sound picture that gets its attention back. 

Does this tactic work every time?  No – but, then again, nothing works every time.  However, it’s one more tactic for a coyote caller to use in the field.  Let’s face it, coyotes have no idea what a gun is or what sound a gun makes.  You always have a fair chance at re-gaining control of the coyote’s behavior if you change its mind. 

Coyotes aren’t always easy to find and we always try to make the most of the ones we’ve already located.  We believe that most unproductive stands are unproductive simply because we’re calling and there’s nothing close enough to be listening, or close enough to care.  Finding coyotes and knowing exactly where they are is definitely more than half the battle of successfully calling them.  Once you have one or more coyotes located, exhaust all opportunities to put ‘em in your truck.
