I just purchased a Foxpro Prowler electronic game call. I have never used an electronic game caller before. I am coyote hunting in Southeast Nebraska (timber and crop areas). Could you all give me some ideas on which calls I should be using? Definitely a rabbit distress call. There are lots of coyote calls on this caller. Should I be using any of them? Thanks and Merry Christmas to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Lots of reading to go through. As far as vocals-until you learn what they mean stay away from all but lone howls and maybe a mild pair howl and use them sparingly. Also pup distress is hard to screw up with no matter the time of year.
 
Agree with jmeddy, you can take your call and listen to the vocals on it then listen to coyotes howling compare the sounds that will give you a good idea of there language, takes patients but you will get to know what there saying over time, sometime you can mimic one and that may piss it off and charge in, this has worked for me at times.
 
In 100% agreement with above responses. Take a listen to the Foxpro Podcasts where Jon Collins and Torry Cook discuss coyote behavior at different times of the year, and what coyotes are doing at those times.

They break down coyote vocalizations in depth and how to use them. I don’t always follow them to a tee, but it’s a great introduction if you don’t know at all. Time afield and attention to your successes and screw ups will teach you the most.

A lot of variables in this sport. Pay attention, don’t get discouraged, and have fun. Every stand is a lesson! Good luck.

I just looked at the Prowler Sound list, here are some of the Foxpro sounds I have had good results with.
Coyote Pup Screams, Vole Squeaks, Jack Rabbit Distress, Bay Bee Cottontail, Adult Cottontail, Snow Shoe Hi Pitch, Prairie Dog Distress, Coyote Pair, Coyote Pup Distress 3.


I would put Coyote Pup Screams as your #1 sound in your favorite category on full volume and Vole Squeaks as #2 sound in your favorite category at about half volume. I use preset sounds as emergency sounds, sounds that you want to change to in just a few seconds.

Coyote Pup Screams on full volume is a great sound for stopping coyotes that are running off, after you have killed a coyote or shot at other coyotes. Vole Squeaks is a great sound for coaxing in coyotes that have held up and are no longer heading in to your Foxpro. Vole Squeaks or Rat sounds also work great for calling in coyotes and cats.
