[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2840698, member: 91783"] I retired from doing control work in 2017 and did it for over 36 years at that time. I have and will still say that the E-calls have made it harder on the professional control people. The puppy distress calls have their place and are abused by way too many people that are just recreational callers. As have the siren for locating. Having killed a lot of coyotes and taken a lot of dens to stop killing of livestock, I do know the difference between calling and locating coyotes. I ground crewed for planes and helicopters locating for them and getting them on the coyotes as well as being a gunner for them. I did the groundwork, found the dens and cleaned up after a lot of people who didn't know what they were doing or didn't care about the person who had to clean up after them. Not only the e-callers but the people learning long range shooting, the people who don't see the coyotes that they call, the people that get buck fever and miss, as well of a ton of people out and about trying to enjoy themselves that shoot at any coyote, fox or bobcat they might happen to see standing, running or setting have made the control workers job a lot harder. In the 60's very few people called any animals just a few government trappers and the animals came readily to rabbit destress calls, some of the government guys howled with their voice and a few of them made howlers out of such things as the mouth pieces of things like clarinets.
