I used to carry a small tripod to get my call off the ground, I use the X24 now, and with its stand, I no longer carry anything else. That built-in stand works well for hanging it on fence posts. As for placing the call up high; not all coyotes react the same, I have had coyotes get in close and see the call and know something is not right, turn and run, and I have also had them jump to get at the call. I try to kill them before they get that close. I shot one the other night that crept in and was standing a few feet away looking up at the call hanging on a fence post.


Call placement is important, it is the centerpiece of the set-up. When I place my call I am always thinking about a hard charger and how I will get them stopped, so they don't blow in and out without a standing still shot opportunity. If your call is placed in the open, on short grass or open dirt they are harder to stop. I look for "blocks"- like shrubs, debris, fences, or something and they tend to slow down and look for as opposed to kamikaze into the set-up. I would not want my call elevated a couple of feet on open ground.
