"Crit'R Call" Brings Coyotes Into Firing Range
"Business is booming because the coyote population has gotten so big," says Major Boddicker of LaPorte, Colo., about his Crit'R Call coyote call. "Hunters in other states are being allowed to hunt 3 or 4 deer apiece. But in Colorado and other states, coyotes have killed so many deer, in addition to sheep and other livestock, that there aren't enough to hunt. There's a long waiting list for deer hunting licenses."
The large coyote population, estimated to be around 500,000 animals, has also hurt wool growers. Environmental laws have left people troubled by coyotes with few options. "You can't use poison any more and snares and traps work but in too small numbers," says Boddicker. The most effective solution is to shoot the coyotes.
The Crit'R Call is made of plastic and nylon. "Unlike wood calls, it will never warp or degrade in sound quality," says Boddicker. It comes in four different models: Standard, PeeWee, Magnum, and Song Dog. They mimic the sounds of a wounded mouse, jackrabbit, puppy or bleat of a sheep.
"If you're able to use a duck call you'll be able to use the Crit'R Call, but we also have great instructions and a video as well," says Boddicker, who has been making the Call since 1976. Professional hunters and trappers use it all over the world.
Crit'R Calls are distributed by Rocky Mountain Wildlife Products and sell for $11 to $20.
