Coyote Callers Make Hunting Easier

Coyote Callers Make Hunting Easier MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 26-1-32 Whether you want to control coyotes or just have fun calling them, a new coyote "howler" may be just what you need. Coyote callers have come a long way since professional trappers built their own out of cow horns. While you can still buy a hand held mouth blower, there's now a digital option. "Our CH1 is a hand held mouth blown caller with removable horn and a voice tube with a reed mechanism," says Gerald Stewart, spokesperson for Johnny Stewart Game Calls. "But our 612 comes complete with a battery, playback device, speaker, and a selection of tapes. And the Power Pro is an electronic caller with a collection of components that can be used with any playback device, from a CD or cassette Walkman to an MP3 player. It will boost the volume from a low input device." The new unit comes with a collection of 9 CD's with four sound tracks per disc as well as MP3 files. With a touch of a button, a caller can switch from a rabbit distress call to a coyote howl. Handheld callers start for less than $5 plus shipping and handling. The more complex electronic units run into the hundreds of dollars depending on components. Bobcat, fox, coyote, raccoon and crow calling kits of four cassettes each are available for $34.95.
