[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 903655, member: 43573"] I don't want to step on threejones toes but I'll dive in on the call question. There are a lot of good calls .......... but you can't carry them all ......... and you really can't manage very many without sounding like a rattle box. I think it makes sense to master the open reed call. It takes some work but keeping the stuff hanging around your neck to a minimum will make more and more sense as you navigate your way around calling. And the basic open reeds I have are from Critter Calls. They make "Pee Wee" ......... "Song Dog" and the original ......... "Critter Call" .... these are the models I have that are my go to calls. I have others that I like, but on a stand ....... you have to keep things simple. They also make the Magnum but I don't have that one. If you were in a lot of very open flat and windy country ........ I might entertain getting that one as well but I have not seen the need yet. What we are trying to do is simplify ......... you don't need 500 calls around your neck .... they'll just foul you up. You need a few ...... and a laynard that you can set them at different heights so you keep them from banging on each other and also so you can distinguish between them in the "heat" of calling. To add to those calls more volume, depth and resonance is easy. A horn off a bull or cow is the most sought after. I have even used ......... don't laugh ........ a two quart plastic milk jug with the bottom cut out! The open reed is very versatile. Not only are they good for coyote language but also your prey based sounds. You have to work at it some but it's not really very hard. The best thing you can do to start getting the idea on coyote language is to go out and just dink with the coyotes somewhere when they are sounding off the most .... evening is the best and most productive. I am spoiled, my home (and I ranch for a living) is smack dab amoungst them so I get all the practice right here at ground zero! Three 44s [/QUOTE]
