Those who have a Foxpro, should be very famliar with their "Female Invitational Howl". I've had good luck with it over the years, when I used ecallers more. Both vocal and charging responses.

Well, I just walked outside after putting up a new post on PM, and I can hear a female coyote doing the EXACT same howl. Just like the recording, she's going on and on and on and on and on... We are talking 4pm in the afternoon, bright and sunny, and she's begging for attention. Man, it never gets old listening to coyotes!

If I didn't plan on hunting the ranch behind my house, tomorrow with a new client, I'd be heading back there right now and howling her up with a big deep male howl. Or, at least sneaking in there and recording her howling with my video camera. We'll just hit it tomorrow afternoon and try.

So, my tip is that it's time to try out the Female Invitational Howl.

Thought I'd share...

Is it actually called "Female invitation howl"? I looked on the fox pro website and can't find it. I have 100 calls on my fury and don't have that one. Maybe I just missed it.
 
I've never heard one do it in real life. I have seen Randy Anderson use it on several of his videos. I usually do it about three times, although I've heard that you can be pretty "busy" with it, doing it pretty close together for quite a while.

How far apart were the howls and how long was she keeping it up?
 
I think they no longer call it female invitational, I just downloaded 4 new female sounds and they are what i would consider in vitational sounds. A real good one os the female deep howl, I think its #054. Harv.
 
Well it used to be called Female Invitation Howl, if I remember. I kind of forgot all about it, till I heard this female today. She was really ripping loose, 3 seconds apart and kept it up for the entire time it took me to skin a coyote, like 12 mins or so.

On my Fx3 i got for Christmas it's listed as 06 Female Invitation. And it's working up here in Montana called one in with it last weekend. Let the call go non stop for about 15 min. when it showed up. Got excited and took first shot at about 200 yards(missed) Coyote ran about 50 yards to the left still looking at the call and decoy. I took another running shot(missed) Coyote took off again ran out to 300 yards stopped and kept looking back at call and decoy. Took two more shots before it left the country for good. Still did not look like it wanted to leave. Found out scope was off, not just off but bent.

On the remote it is listed as 06 Coy Female Inv.

Yep, on my Fury I got it with 2 Female Invitation Howl sounds. This past saturday was the first time I tried it and had a dead male on the ground in 2m15s.
 
Yep, same here. I got the FX3 1 yr ago and # 6 is the female invitation however on the box you get it in its listed as Coy. Female howl.

Excellent time of year for this call ! Sadly, a lot of the guys I know dont like to howl much. These wild canines are born hungry, and most die with an empty stomach. But even stronger than their appetite is their desire to bond, to hunt and fight, and to howl together. To form packs. Right now during the late-winter breeding season, is the best time to use these vocalization/s.

Hunters who can mimic howls kill more coyotes year round than those who use strictly distress / wounded prey calls. Successful coyote hunters have to fire on at least 3 cylinders. Coyotes have to eat, but they also have to breed and protect their territory. If you just use a prey in distress call, you could be missing 2/3 of the yotes out there.
 
Very well said!

I witnessed something really cool the other day. I was fleshing some coyotes in the backyard, when I heard a group of coyotes howl across the road. They do it quite a bit, pretty close to the house, during the middle of the day. This time, I was ready.

I dropped what I was doing, climbed up on top of my hunting rig with my binoculars and began scanning the brushy pasture. A small group was howling to the North and a big male was howling on the South side of the property. I finally picked them up with the binos. There was 3 of them there howling and watching to the South, about 900 yards out from me. The big male came trotting up to them and I got to witness them greet each other. Tails wagging, jumping on each other and pushing each other around with their front feet. This lasted for 3-4 mins long. It was totally cool to watch. So much, that it didn't even cross my mind about getting the video camera up there and film it.

It reminded me why I moved here.

Tony,

As you were telling me about the meet and greet, all I could think about was your camera (not those darn BINOS)

That is potentially NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC type stuff. Must have been awesome.....seems that I might have to come check out the great state of NM. Seems to be one heck of a place!

Great stuff on the Female Invite too....didn't mean to hi-jack your original intentions.

Talk to you soon!

While driving not far from my house I saw what I thought was big brown shepard standing out about 200 yds in a big field focused on something past me. When I looked at what he was looking at I saw another coyote about 200 yards on the opposite side of me or 400 yds between them and he was approaching but stopping and staring like a dog coming to fight. I couldn't pullover and see the outcome but I was reminded how good their senses are to locate one another and how territorial they are. If they can sense an intruder a quarter mile away it's no wonder they can sense a human trudging through their territory.

There's sooooo much there that I disagree with. But I reckon we all have vastly different experiances, thoughts and beliefs when it comes to coyotes. Or so it seems.
 
You have to keep in mind, you can have a sound on your "Fury" remote and it might be 006 Female Inv Howl, but I can take that very same sound and move it to 500, if I chose to do so. It all depends on the sounds you got when you bought, as far as what number it is.

To see what sounds they are, you would either have to go to www.gofoxpro.com or www.allpredatorcall.com . They both have the same "Preview" list of calls.
