I guess E callers do work.

 Had a fellow from down Stateside bugging me to try out his new Ecaller.  Something he put together himself[or with help from others for all I know] and he asked me [of all people] to do a few stands with it and put up a review of what I thought.  I don't like electronics in anyway for my outdoor pleasures but he kept nagging and even sent one up with a little whirly gig type decoy.  So just in case I ever need this fellow I took it out today and tried it.
  First stand I played the caller and two coyotes came in out in front of me 75 yds.  They had followed a slough bank around and just popped up.  I shot the bigger one and the other ran 3 steps[kinda] and disappeared.



Edge they came in and disappeared at.


Where I was set up [edge of bush]


I then went 4 miles west and set up looking here. 


After I got set up and decoy in place I was looking off to the right while the caller ran and didn't even see the coyote that came in to 50yds until I turned my head, there he was in 8 secs.  We had a short staring contest and then he laid down.  I didn't wnat to leave after 15 seconds so I played the call again and then waited for 4 minutes.  Another coyote came out of the bush and trotted right to the first one and he layed down too.  I called and waited some more and one more coyote came out but 300 yds down and trotted right behind a short rise allowing it to get down wind of me and I never saw it again.

What I saw from a standing position at this stand.


Then closer up. Third coyote came out at that point of bush over the coyotes.

That's how they landed.

Looking back at where I was set up with the truck for a reference.


I then thought about going home but thought I better try one more for a solid review. I played the call at the new stand and these guys came out of the bush.


Came right up to within 35yds.


They went back to the bottom and I caught a glimpse of movement down at the bush to the left of them.  It was a coyote that came out and layed down but just stayed there watching the deer and waiting.  I ain't a good waiter so I touched off a shot at about 240 yds.


So for the review this caller brought in six coyotes[that I saw] on three stands so I guess it works. :yoyo: :yoyo:  I think I could have done it with any of my hand calls but I didn't so I hope this makes the fellow who put the caller together happy.  I have boxed up the caller and decoy to send back as I don't need them now.
I say what I think not think what I say.

Wow! :yoyo:

I didnt think you guys were allowed to use ecallers, but man am I glad you got a chance to and for what seemed like you enjoyed it.
You did didnt you? :sneer:   Ah c'mon you know you did. :wink:

What I've always liked about them is they get the sound AWAY from you. And with that goes the attention that would normally be on you.

I was going to ask may I come and go hunting with you. But I can see there is no need of that anymore. No coyotes left up there. Looks like you had a great day out in the field. Congrats on you big beautiful coyotes.

Wow!  You really ought to think about opening up a coyote hunting lodge.  You could make a wheel barrow full of money!   :eyebrownod:  And I'd be your first customer too.   :laf:

Just want to reiterate what every body else said. Beautiful country too, although very flat.

Two anyway.  The four I got were all dogs so it won't hurt next years population any  :doh2:.

Semp to me hunting is a sport to be enjoyed :shrug: and if I had to take some spoiled [thing you do to your finger with a needle] paid me money and I had to "make" him have fun, I wouldn't, so I stay away from money for pleasure systems.  Money and no fun would be far worse than broke and enjoying.  You on the other hand can come up anytime for free :biggrin:

Did you miss how the coyotes materialized on the first stand :innocentwhistle:


Flat eh :doh2:  try driving a 90' sprayer across it at 20mph and you'll find out about how "flat" it is. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :laf:

Thanks for the responses guys and I hope to hear from you again  :wink:
