Around 6-7yrs ago. I had a mouse squeaker. Squeaker bulb broke so I put the voice in a little piece of dowel rod that I hollowed out. Stuck that little do-hickey into a 3" piece of 1/2" PVC pipe.
Some time later on...Seen a bedded coyote around 300yrds off of a gravel road. It was snowing pretty heavy. I was camo'd in all white. I parked 1/2 mile away & walked down the gravel & stopped parrallel to the coyote. At which time it was sitting up facing me.
Coyote commenced to bark twice then let out a short howl. I did the same on that little squeaker call. Barked twice & howled. Communication carried on for a few minutes back & forth. Gave me a good laugh[time well spent]
So my answer is; Lip-squeaks are good for calling domestic cats. My Grandma was a carney, she should know.
