Mouth call vs Electronic call

[MOwhitetail]

Does anyone here that’s used an electronic call like a Foxpro still use mouth/hand calls? I live in an area where coyote calling has become really popular over the last 5 years or so and it seems the dogs have become more wise to the Foxpro. I’m wondering if switching to mouth calls would give me an advantage. It would seem that a mouth blown call could easier match the higher frequencies of real prey in distress. Just a thought I had today.

Yes and No - if they are educated to standard distress like rabbit - doing the same thing with a hand call produces the same results.

If they don’t respond you just have to keep trying until you figure out what works.

If you have a good ecaller and can load new sounds there isn’t a huge advantage to hand calls.

If you have a cheap one - learn to howl and do pup distress on reed and diaphram calls.

I have tried both. With my skill level, I dont have any luck with a mouth call. Its easier to stick with the electronic call and tell myself they are educated.

That being said, my luck seems to come in waves, but they still come to the foxpro. Are you running a foxpro?

Yeah. I’ve got a shockwave that I like pretty well. Definitely easier to run which is why I think everyone has one.
