I use both, an electronic call(foxpro) and a couple mouth calls.. i can run the e caller about 75yds away from me and add in some of my own sounds with my mouth calls for some more realism/variety..

Thanks for the info. Haven't made a purchase yet, going to look for a used unit first.

 

Early season night calling i like foxpro ecallers and as the season rolls on i love the mfk mouth calls

 

I’ve been calling coyotes since the 1970s. I have used a mouth call with success. The down side is the critter is focused on exactly where the sound is originating. The good news is they’re economical and they don’t sound like the electronic callers that get used by so many people.
These days, I use entirely a Fox Pro. It gets the sound 25-50 yards from me and they have sounds that are hard if not impossible to replicate with a hand call.

 

If your calling with a bow you can set up a stand so you can draw without getting busted easier with a e-call w/remote.

Rifle calling in open country hand calls can be very effective as you can see the critter before he sees you and can wait until he is behind a bush or looks away to raise your rifle. Most have their rifles on sticks or pods ready to go and only have to direct them toward the critter.

Hunting thisck brush a remote e-caller has all the advantages. Many times I'm hunting where I can't even see a coyote until here is in shotgun range.

I own two modern Foxpros(CS-24 and Crossfire) and am not a big fan, I hate to scroll for sounds or have to read a screen while on a stand. My goto calls for bow hunting coyotes are two Minaska M-1 Bandits(out of production) and a Wildlife Technologies for rifle hunting,

Wildlife Tech

Minaska M-1 Bandit small and handy great for tight cover and long hikes.

I do use hand calls and find that there are very few that won't call critters, some are easier to use. My favs open reeds are Carver, R&R, Tally Ho. Closed reed Sceery and R&R and I like the Sceery bite call.
