Alright... i have an FX3 i have been out about 6 different set ups and no luck other than a couple calling in far distance and wouldn't come and play. Hoping on some advice on the following.

1) volume to use
2) Calls to use and sequences
3) Duration to play sound?

Any other advice would be appreciated...

Thanks guys!!
 
Around here where I hunt coyotes aren't coming like they used to. I blame it on two things, number one is electronic calls and number two beginners. Electronic calls if used wrong are repetitive and sound like a machine so coyotes are weary. The second reason is people that educate the coyotes by missing their shot,calling to loud to quiet and not staying on stand long enough. If a coyote lives through a calling session isn't going to call again. There is nothing wrong with electronic calls.

I am having the same problem , been out with the FX 3 a dozen times called in to red tail's and a barred Owl landed on my caller and picked at it till he figured out he was not eating it. Myself i blame my lack of experience in the use of these calls ,I am still convinced they work .
 
I myself have found them less effective than they were, so I have switched to shorter burst of sound and staying on stand 10 more minutes (40 now)

The other thing, once you spot one, lower the volume.

Also, I have about 100-125 sounds and willing to share if anyone else would loike to share, send me a PM
 
only 6 sets? #### I went about 50 before calling in my first. I bet its your set up more then your calling. Maybe they are winding you? I start off calling real quiet, call for about a minute then a minute of silence. Any rabbit sound should work, maybe your calling an area that have educated coyotes? they might of heard that tune before.......
 
The big thing is getting to a spot that coyotes are and that you can see downwind while not being detected. I usually keep the caller within 100yds, upwind. I approach calling 2 different ways depending on the time of year. During mating season (right now) I start with howls, usually female and go from there. The other approach is start off with distress and then work to howls. Start quiet with a vole squeak or rabbit and increase volume. Howls start loud and stay loud. Keep with it, that caller has killed lots of critters;)

Some good information on the web, check out the Predator Masters and foxpro forum
 
Just have patience you have probably called some in that you havnt seen,they come in behind you or from a blind spot.Right now around here they can hear you 2 miles away walking on the crunchy snow.I hadnt called any in for a couple of weeks and a local let me call by his yard with no snow crunching and the normal noise around the yard within 20 minutes we had three coming in,only got one though.I wouldnt get too caught up with volume and sequences turn on the jack rabbit distress and "they will come" Good luck!
 
Coyote Calling

Calling coyotes is more than just walking out in the middle of the field and turning on a electronic caller and waiting to shoot a yote.

Hunting a yote can be more difficult sometime than bagging a big trophy whitetail.

Pay attention to details, that will bag you a yote more than a electronic call.
