Quick Answer
For early-season wolf hunting, the best call is often a high-pitched howl or scream, typically made using a mouth call or an electronic call with a similar frequency range. This type of call mimics the sound of a female wolf in heat, which is a common attractant for male wolves during the early season. The call should be loud and clear.
Choosing the Right Call
When selecting a call for early-season wolf hunting, look for one that can produce high-pitched sounds in the 500-700 Hz range. This frequency range is most effective for mimicking the howls and screams of female wolves. Some popular call options for wolf hunting include the M-101, the Scream’n Eagle, and the Wolf Howler.
Call Techniques
To increase the effectiveness of your call, it’s essential to master the right techniques. Start by making a series of short, high-pitched yips, followed by a longer, more sustained howl. This will create a sense of excitement and urgency that’s likely to attract male wolves. Repeat the call sequence several times, pausing for 10-15 seconds between each repetition. As the hunt progresses, you can try varying the tone and pitch of your call to keep the wolves engaged.
