Quick Answer
For fall coyote hunting, use a combination of high-pitched yips, whines, and howls to mimic a coyote's social behavior. This can be done using a mouth call or an electronic call with a high-pitched tone. Experiment with different sounds and volumes to attract coyotes.
Choosing the Right Call
When calling coyotes in the fall, it’s essential to choose a call that can produce high-pitched tones. Electronic calls with a built-in amplifier are ideal, as they can produce louder sounds without straining your vocal cords. Consider a call with multiple sound settings, allowing you to mimic different coyote vocalizations. For example, the Primos 922 Coyote Hunter Call or the Remington AC-1000 Electronic Call can produce high-pitched tones effectively.
Mastering the Call
To effectively call coyotes, practice the sounds you want to mimic. Start with short, high-pitched yips and gradually increase the duration and volume. Experiment with different combinations of sounds, such as a series of high-pitched yips followed by a low, moaning howl. This can help attract coyotes and get them to respond to your call.
Reading Coyote Behavior
When calling coyotes, pay attention to their behavior and body language. Look for signs of interest, such as ear perking, tail twitching, or approaching the call site. If a coyote responds to your call, be prepared to make a shot. Aim for a vital organ, such as the lungs or heart, to ensure a quick and humane kill.
