Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted January 7, 2013 Coyote calling has always been one of my more favorite things to do. Growing up I lived in a rural area that saw little pressure and FoxPro had not yet come along although the Johnny Stewart tape players were around. Anybody with a sqawker mouth call could call in a coyote. You didn't need to wear camo, or have any scent cover. I used to call coyotes on the way to school. As the years have zipped along, my kids have little faith in the stories that I tell of calling back in the day and honestly I have not produced as the stories of yore would profess. After what seems like ten years or more of just plain having bad luck, no time....whatever the excuse I can come up with for not calling in and putting the smack down on a coyote................yesterday we finally got it done. Using the .17 Remington that my son built for me and the FoxPro Scorpion that my wife gave to me a coupe of years ago, we finally found a coyote that gave us the opportuninty. As I saw this coyote coming in I whistled to Cole to try and get his attention for a shot, but that stopped the coyote at about 40 yards. As he turned I put the crosshairs on the back of his head and it was all over. I love that .17 Remington. Bad cell phone pic but hey......I am not ready to retire from coyote calling. I call this one dumbdog cause he broke a drought like no other and once again I want to call more than ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Nice way to break the ice. My buddy and I did lots of calling in the 80's using Circe calls, best 2 day tally was 16. I went out two weeks ago with my son and managed one but I was using an AR with open sights (1st shot with new gun)and hit him back a bit and I lost his blood trail in the thick stuff. He was very wary sneaking in and backing out. I still love to call and will probably never buy an electronic caller as I can still go for at least 20 minutes without any issues. I was always replacing reeds in the Circe calls but I have a Sceery and it still has the original reed after about 5 years. I attribute it to the Circe being hard plastic and the Sceery being a softer rubber. Who knows but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted January 10, 2013 I still enjoy blowing on a hand call and feel better about things when I finally get one to come in, but I really like the variety the electronic offers and the ability to just sit still and watch. Plus their focus is on the call instead of me and my moving ways. I like my Sceery as well and remember well growing up thinking there had to be a better reed than the Circe had or I needed to figure out how to keep my spit out of them. Lots of fun for sure................. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
