I have a foxpro fury2 and had a fx3 before that. Always had a foxpro and I have killed more coyotes with hand calls. Realistic calling where I can muffle the sound, Go raspy and high pitch seems to work so much better than a looped sound. We have differnet coyotes then the ones out west, They are a lot more hesitant.
Coyote Hunting anyone?

What area do you live in?
No need for electronic calls. Mouth blown calls exclusively here. We like to walk far enough to get to where few others go, and the mouth blown calls work at least as well as electronic calls without carrying all that crap. You are not handicapped at all just because you don't have a foxpro.
Get a couple of mouth blown calls with different sounds, and then go hunting.
True to a point on the volume (or at least what i've found ).
It's really going to depend on the type of area your hunting over here in Ont & the conditions at the time. If your hunting/calling in the typical rural farm-land where its 200 acres at most or it's not windy, yes less volume.
On the other hand if your fortunate enough to gain access to some of the larger acre farms, your gonna need some volume to carry that sound any distance. Especially if your combating wind, which is over-powering or muffling your calling & typical of the Jan-March months.
Start low and work that volume up over your set. The highest volume you think you need to go, should be the very last call in your set.
I use a FX3 (just repaired at FoxPro - good customer service btw) and mouth calls. I am guilty of being lazy and relying on the FoxPro but haven't had much luck lately so am sure I'm blowing the stand out with too much volume. I agree, mouth calls are great and may never sound the same twice to a coyote. Who knows...
Has anyone shot any during off-peak times, say middle of the day? A couple years back I got one around 10 am and another at 1 pm.
In terms of firearms, 22-250, .243 and the latest acquisition a 6mm - shooting 65 Vmax and RL-15.

I love speed!
I have a FoxPro, it has a lot of calls on it that I did with my hand calls, then transferred, plus some of Foxpros. I also put an auxiliary input jack in it, that allows me to search any sound I may not have and connect my phone to the caller for full volume, and FoxPro quality.
Also converted one of those cheap "wobbly rabbits" to connect to the FoxPro, I can start and stop the motion from the remote.
I live for the sole purpose of hunting coyotes.
