People, I can see I aked a question there are many different opinions on. All of it has been informative. Thank you all. Keep them coming. I'll try that ranch again towards the middle or end of December. There are some other callers around but I have faith in my variations and techniques.
And on another note. My family owns about 500 acres near Covington Texas. Farmland and pastures, mostly flat stuff, in this particular area. No scrub and too few trees on our place. I went tried one stand using a gravelly jackrabbit. I then moved about 1/4 mile south, and did somthing I hardly ever do this time of year: two rather high pitched lone howls. Then I waited about 3 minutes and hit the jackrabbit again. A streak came running through the dead johnson grass and I had to bark to stop him before he got behind me. 22-250 put him down at about 30 yards to my left. Very nice about 2 year old, large, male, 'yote. (He'd been into a skunk, wheeew!) Point is I hard not thought much about using howls with my distress cries this time of year. But, I had read of some folks doing it on this forum and decided to give it a try. In my opinion, and I'll never know for sure, the howls got his attention. So, when we share toughts and ideas, we can all benefit. Thanks again.
