Quick Answer
To maintain electronic calls for longevity, clean them regularly with a soft brush, dry them with a cloth, and store them in a protective case. Apply a small amount of silicone spray to moving parts to prevent rust. Regularly check batteries for proper fit and function.
Cleaning Electronic Calls
When cleaning electronic calls, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt and debris from the speaker and other components. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the electronics. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the call and remove any remaining dust or debris. If you plan on storing your electronic call for an extended period, consider applying a small amount of silicone spray to the moving parts to prevent rust.
Storing Electronic Calls
Proper storage of electronic calls is crucial to maintaining their longevity. Store your electronic calls in a protective case or bag to prevent damage from dust, moisture, and impact. Keep the case or bag in a dry, cool location away from direct sunlight. Consider storing your electronic calls in a separate container or bag with a desiccant packet to absorb any moisture that may be present.
Maintaining Batteries and Decoys
Regularly check the batteries in your electronic call to ensure they are functioning properly. Use the correct type and size of batteries, and make sure they are securely seated in the call. When not in use, store the batteries in a separate container to prevent damage from corrosion. When setting up a stand, consider using decoys to attract and hold the attention of coyotes. Use a minimum of two decoys, placed at a 45-degree angle to each other, with the electronic call positioned between them. This setup will create a realistic and attractive environment for coyotes to approach.
