I don't think the Coyotes can tell the difference in them... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I must admit i dont think the foxes here can tell the differance,
I have used my button call that sounds like a cotton tail. Then i have used some calls i have received from the US that sound really different but still work just as well. I have used the button call in areas that doesnt have rabbits and its still worked and i have used the raspier calls from the US in areas that dont have hares and they still worked.
It could depend more on what the predators in your local area have heard before. dont play them the same song and they might come running.

Speaking of different calls, Iread somewhere on here where a guy called in a coyote with a praire dog distress tape and he didn't have any praire dogs around. I have thought about that alot because I have a chicken in distress tape and very few places I call have any chickens. I don't use the tape because of my lack of confidense in it. Feed back????
i really didn't think that the predators cared about the difference in sounds. i'm assuming that a snoeshow hare being smaller than a jack, but bigger than a cottontail, would sound the same, right in the middle. thanks for the input, and yes, i live and hunt in orleans county, vermont. the north east kingdom. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Corey Smith, if you don't have confidence in a sound you won't work it right or give it a real shot. Stick with what you do have confidence in while you learn the sport. You can experiment later with other sounds. Jimmie

Corey Sr.,
I do a lot of calling in the Rochester, Hancock area off Rt 100 in the central part of the state. I bought the Snow Shoe Hare calls because they seem to be abundant in that area, as well as where I call in NH. Because of that I seem to use that sound a lot and therefore it is the call that gives me most of the action. In my limited experience I think if it sounds like food they will come if they are in the area.
I sure do get a lot of coyotes to respond when I am calling crows in March and early September. I don't know who has a bigger appitite, coyotes or my son.

I started varmint hunting in your neck of the woods over 40 years ago. My dad was from East Charleston and he used to take me along on his woodchuck and crow hunts back then. I can still remember my first shot at a chuck with his pre-64 Model 70 in 220 swift. I was only about 11 or so and I missed the chuck, but have been hooked ever since. I’ve had the opportunity to hunt turkeys and deer in the western part of the state, since. But never coyotes…some day. I still have a soft spot for Vermont.
I live in Colorado and have been hunting Wiley for over 20 years now and the one thing I continue to learn is that number 1 he has to be around and number 2 is that he’ll come into any call that sounds like dinner.
I was using prairie dog distress in a huge prairie dog town the other day and didn’t have any luck. Guess he wasn’t around, or I was busted, not much cover, so no place to hide the truck, later the same day I was calling rolling canyon country and using the same sound and had excellent results. The nearest prairie dog town was 50 miles away!
Scout for sign and go with the caller that works best for you.
