[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3102969, member: 91783"] I haven't done extensive amounts of calling in other areas. But I did some in Montana and Southern Indiana, and tried the same locator and where are you howls in both other places and they worked the same there as they did here. I learned the locator series from Bill Austin but the where are you I learned from the coyotes here by being out there after I had killed the mate or had taken the pups from a den that were a month and a half old and hearing the other ones searching for the missing ones. I learned the difference in tones between the male and female or pups by listening to them and then killing them thus finding out who was making what type of sounds then figuring out what sounds I needed at what times as so many others have also done. Not much of what I know hasn't been found out and been done by others but at one time others kept it as closely guarded secrets not sharing it with anyone so that they felt secure in keeping their jobs as well as not having competitors or others messing up and training the coyotes that they had to kill to do their jobs.

I had to meet another guy, so I really didn't have a lot of time to mess around but that ended up being for the better.
