Howling Coyotes method

In another thread, our member Hodgen and a few others have requested a few tips and if possible, some sound wav's to click on for clarification. I am now going to try posting a link to a voice howl which has worked well for me. This sound is good for locating coyotes on a calm night, and is also good sound to use in daytime calling for those older and wiser calf eating coyotes. I usually start a calling stand with two or three howls. The first howl I use is sometimes this one. http://pages.sbcglobal.net/barracudabob/_uimages/domainhowl.wav
 
After you howl, you may well receive a vocal answer. Many times, the real coyote will challenge you to a fight or warn you to get out of town before he kicks your butt. The challenge sometimes is low pitched and sometimes high pitched like this. high challenge If you do get a vocal answer, quickly imitating what real coyote just said is one way to make him come running in for a fight.

If you don't receive a vocal answer, please do not dispair. Coyotes in my own area do not often howl in daytime, but will still come to the howls. What I like to do after giving them two or three lonesome sounding howls is to wait in silence for a few minutes and then give them my favorite distress screams. This could be a rabbit, bird distress or what ever. My howler is tuned to reproduce good puppy dog squeals, so I often just use those. pup whine I then wait in silence for a few more minutes. If nothing shows up, I repeat the sequence.

thank you, RICH, for posting those. it's a lot easier to listen to the sounds, than to try to figure out what a verbal description of them means.
 
It is my pleasure guys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I am here to help others become better callers. Here comes a link to a sound we have all heard a few times. Most of the time, I hear it in a group yip-howl. feed howl

I don't know how much value this sound is when it comes to calling, but I really don't think it will spook any coyotes away. If anything, it should act as a sound that just means strange coyote in the area. Fun sound to use as a changeup anyway.
 
Hi Rich.
Thanks for the info but I could only listen to the first sound file. I noticed that the rest didn't have a (.wav) file extension on them so they're opening in notepad. I can't hear anything but they look pretty complex. Thanks again.
 
Thanks for taking the time to do that for us Rich. That's good info, and it's appreciated.
 
Hey Rich,
That was great, I wish you would do more of these sounds for us rookies. We could eventually earn an online degree in howling,LOL. Really though, I appreciate what you've done. Good job.
 
Thanks a bunch for those sounds Rich, and as soon as your cow horn gets to my door I'll be workin on em!
Bake. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Those we're great!! Now my one year old son is walking around here sounding like a little coyote.
Awwwwww!!! Aint he cute? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Thanks Rich-really helps to have those sounds to listen to when I'm practicing! (when nobody's home /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif ) Nice work>
 
Rich, is it possible to put on a lonesome howl so I can compare it to the domain howl? Or are they the same?
Sorry. I'm just learning.
Thanks.
 
Thanks, Rich. I've been reading the LONG thread and some were talking about the higher pitched calls drawing the more mature coyotes.....does the pitch matter when you are doing the domain howl or the lonesome howl? I mean, there is a BIG difference in pitch between the domain howl, the lonesome just posted, and the high challenge.
Would we be better off raising the pitch of all our coyote sounds when calling?
Thanks again.
