Sceery calls

Have any of you tried the Haydel's predator call's? I have seen them and just wondered i own a crow call of this brand and it is realistic hell i can make the crows come from nowhere and circle my head.

I've had some very good luck with Haydel calls. They are all closed reed, but they make Jackrabbit, cottontail, fawn, woodpecker, howler and several others. Rush Sporting Goods in Russellville carries a pretty good stock. Cross Creek in Fort Smith also carries a few. I think you can also order off of their website. The Government Hunter Model had two different sounds. But if you give on a try, I think that you will like it as well as you like their crow call.
I have several different brands of call, JS, Burnham Brothers, Weems, Lohman, Primos and others, but Haydel calls are as good as any on the market.

Varmintslayer, I have had great luck with the Haydels calls also. They ain't gonna win a beauty contest but they have performed very well for me.
 
I may be jumping in here late, but I too like the Sceery AP 3, but have been having a problem with it. How do you guys in COLD Climates keep it from freezing up? Is there anything I can spray on the reed to help?

Thanks

Larry
 
SD,
Your problem is common with all enclosed reed type calls, and is one big reason that a lot of us have gone to using the open reed calls. The folks in cold climates who still use enclosed reed calls are carrying two or three of the little buggers so that they have a backup when one call freezes up. Most of them are also carrying the calls on a lanyard so that the call can be kept tucked under their coat and right next to their body to keep it warm.

Thanks Rich. I seem to remember someone telling me to spray nonstick cooking oil or something on the reed inside of the call, just can't remember for certain. At any rate I wanted to ask before I did it.

Thanks again

Larry

PS I have tried an Open Reed for distress sounds a couple of times, and I just have not mastered them yet. I know, keep trying. Thanks again
 
SD Handgunner,

Rich is right about carring several on lanyards close to the body, and there are several other tricks you learn real quick. I love my AP-3, but when it gets cold out(Zero or below) I spend more time blowing in the wrong end of it. When the pitch starts to change (you know that I'm freezing up on you pitch) turn it around and blow in to the end of it. Hard if you need to clear out the slobber or slow and steady if your trying to thaw out the reed and melt the condinsation. Or get you a spare

or three and put them in your pocket with one of those cheap 8 hour hand warmers you can by at Wal-Mart.

If you don't feel comfortable with an open reed you can still by a few bellowed hand calls out there.

Good calling,
AY
 
Where do ya'all get Sceery calls over the internet. The howler is the one I'm having the most difficulty in finding. Nobody here in my town carries anything Sceery other than elk calls. Thanks in advance!

SpinnerShark, cabela's has all the one you are looking for. Just got the AP-6 & 7 last week and got my howler a few months back.
Try them!!!
 
THIS MAY SOUND STUPID, BUT, CAN YOU ACTUALLY CALL ON A RABBIT IN DISTRESS CALL WRONG? I HAVE A FEW VIDEOS, AND THEY ALL SOUND DIFFERENT! DOES IT REALLY MATTER OR DO THEY JUST COME TO THE DISTRESS SOUND? (THIS FROM SOMEONE THAT HASN'T ACTUALLY CALLED A COYOTE WITH A HAND CALL)

The answer to your question is No. You can't really call on a rabbit in distress call wrong. I have heard some of the most awful sounds coming out of a novice and whaddya know? In comes a coyote big as you please.
The only thing you can do wrong is to move. Rubber-necking is a sin. swatting at mosquitoes is a sin. Looking behind you is a sin. Don't move and your successes will be greater. Of course it helps to have coyotes in the area.

Jay you got one thing wrong there buddy. Slapping a mosquito is not a sin ...It is a felony!!!!!!!!

I have always heard about the only thing wrong you can do is blow it for to long. Short one to two second bursts work really well. Just imagine that you have just had a tree fall on you and you cann't get your breathe and blow it like you are dieng. Short and sweet. jay is right tho' I have heard some friends blow it and make the most horrible sound and the coyote break his neck trying to get to the call. Just have fun and not worry so much. It will come to you the more you do it. Also remember that coyotes are different from one area to another. We do not have Jack rabbits here and the coyotes will run from a jack in distress. I guess they think it is going to get them.. Also remember that a rabbit is small and volume is important. Like Bill Bynum says on the Knight and Hale video "if you shower down on the call and he is right there, he will not come cause no coyote is going to tackle a 75 pound rabbit" ..Know what I mean?

Hi Spinnershark I just purchased mine at Cabela's for $20 bucks on Monday. For an extra $6 buck I was able to have it on Friday which just happens to be my first day of vacation. Yee Howllllll!!! Hi Jay just close your eyes and imagine that you are that rabbit the coyote is chewing on. "Put some feeling into it" Good Luck!!
 
1-800-327-4322 is Sceery's number. They have prices direct that are usually cheaper than Cabelas. Wow I just looked at Cabelas new catalog and they are awful proud of their stuff!!!

I've pretty much packed away all my other calls, and am satisfied using a Sceery call in any situation. That ace-3 hyper elk call is the best damned sounding predator call I've heard... it's just an AP-7 with a different shaped barrel, but I can get the raspiness and pain out of it better than my AP-7. I just looked and I have at least one of each of the cam-arm predator calls, and a couple of the elk calls.

I don't know where the heck Ed went off to, maybe he got sick of the internet.
