I've never used this sound, just heard it for the first time and thought it was great. Anyone using Groundhog or Prairie Dog Distress with success on predators??? When I heard it, I thought it was really busy, urgent, high-pitched, and had some great potential for calling all kinds of things from foxes to bears. We don't have any dirtdogs or chucks anywhere around here, so they'd be non-native, and nothing like any desert coyote's ever heard before. Maybe that's a good thing??

What do you think of Groundhog Distress?? How's it working? Are groundhogs native to your area?
 
I hunted up in eastern wa. this year and I have hunted that area for years and have never seen a rabit or any sign of a rabit but I have killed alot yotes with a high pitch cottontail. So I think it will work
 

I can speak to the groundhog "Distress" in New England.

We call them "Whistel Pigs" here also, and in a large field, when one whistles, all of them hit their holes, and you can take a nap for an hour or two, cuz they ain't coming back up til the danger is gone.
 
I have tried the WT ground hog distress sound for awhile. Called in one coyote and one deer. Given how much I tried it I didn't think it was very effective.
 
I'd sure like to stick an alligator clip on a "whistle pig's" ankle and get him to sing for the microphone. I'd like to try that sound on a desert coyote and see if they're easier to call than those back east. We started live trapping a few months ago and we've had some fun doing it. Never know what you'll find in the morning.
 
I have the WT and have called several groundhogs here in SE KY with that sound, but haven't tried it on yotes. I have both the adult and baby groundhog distress sounds.
