Quick Answer
In late-season coyote hunting, the most effective call types are high-pitched, urgent sounds that mimic injured prey or young pups. Screamers and howler calls are particularly effective for calling in coyotes, as they can be heard over long distances and convey a sense of distress. When used in combination with decoys and wind direction, these calls can be highly effective.
Choosing the Right Call
When selecting a call for late-season coyote hunting, look for a high-pitched screamer or howler that can produce a range of tones and volumes. A good call should be able to mimic the sounds of an injured rabbit or a puppy in distress, and should be capable of producing a loud, ear-piercing shriek that can be heard over long distances. Some popular call options include the Primos 721 Predator Hunter and the MRC Predator Screamer.
Call Techniques and Tips
To get the most out of your call, it’s essential to practice and develop your own unique calling style. Start by experimenting with different tones and volumes to find what works best for you and the terrain you’re hunting in. When calling, try to create a sense of urgency and distress, using a series of high-pitched screams and yips to mimic the sounds of an injured animal. Pay close attention to the wind direction and use your call to work with the wind, rather than against it. In the 22 Creedmoor Prairie, where open terrain and strong winds can be a challenge, it’s essential to be able to call coyotes in from a distance and keep them engaged until they’re within range.
