[QUOTE="sledneck84, post: 1011248, member: 28493"] Well first off, congrats, you just started the first stage of a costly addiction. Predator hunting is one of my favorite things to do and blow money on.:D Now to answer your questions, keep in mind this is just how I do it and it works for ME. Your scenario may be different so don't be afraid to change it up until something works for YOU. How often do you call- I typically wait about 5 minutes after setting up to let things calm down. I then make a short (10-15 seconds) fairly quiet call incase anything is close. say within 100 yards. and often times there is. I then wait a couple minutes and ramp up to medium volume and a little longer. Maybee 25 seconds calling. I then wait and observe for about 5 minutes to see if anything is moving. then i go full volume and run a death string rabbit massacre for about 30 to 45 seconds. Followed by about a 2 minute break then repeat. I typically stay on stand for about 30 minutes before i move, longer if i am in a bobcat/ mt lion area. Cats sometimes take an hour to show themselves from my experience. Decoys- I sometimes use them and sometimes not. depends alot on the terrain and the way the coyotes are acting that day. If i'm in fairly thick cover i don't use a decoy. If i'm in open country and the dogs aren't "hungry" i generally use a decoy. I let it run the whole time. Calls & callers- I have a top of the line custom shop fox pro and don't really use it very often. I find it alot funner and challenging to use mouth calls. With a mouth call i have control over the tones i blow, sounds and sequences i make. Which in my mind makes it easier for me to coax that dog or dogs in because i can read their body language and act accordingly. But sometimes it is fun to just let the caller play and see what happens. I have alot of hand calls i use with my favorite probably being primos catnip. verminator makes alot of cool calls that really throw some crazy sounds as well and work good at times. Also the pc-1 tends to be another favorite of mine. It's really just whatever works for you and the coyotes like.
