New Coyote Rifle and Home Made E- Caller

sounds good but all I see is red X's your pic's are broken...lol...

We use a fox pro but I recently bought a few hand calls and find I can make more accurate sounds with the hand calls over the fox pro.....heading to the field tomorrow.
 
last year called in a lynx and a wolf - never saw the wolf as he came in behind me. Been out once this year - now have an MP3 player and definitely cuts down on some of the mechanical noise from the CD player.

Will repost links to photos.

As far as downloaded sounds, see the first post.

Where are you getting your sounds from? Do you have a decoy as well? My brother and I use one and man is it ever an attention distractor. Coyotes focus in and start running. My brother had one run past him at 50 yards to get the decoy.
 
Since then I have done a couple of upgrades. Bought a small MP3 player mainly to cut down on the bulk and now have rigged to be "cordless".

First thing is to have a set of FRS radios that you can program to take the confirmation beep off - most of the newer ones have that. In the speaker box, use a 1/8" plug double ended cable (6 foot length Radio Shack stock#42-2387A) from the mini amp to the headphone speaker jack on the radio. This is now your receiver.

Attach your CD player / MP3 player with another 1/8" double plug cable to the microphone jack on the second FRS radio. You will likely find that it is a samller diamater jack on the radio and you will need to use a reducing plug from 1/8" to 3/32" plug - I bought mine at the "source" - part # 2740381 - have also seen the same reducing plug at Future shop - usually will find them in the cell phone accessories. Anyways, this unit is now your transmitter.

So, turn on the music source, press transmit on the FRS and it will be received and transmitted from the caller unit.
 
My attempt to make a $10-$20 electronic caller worked well. Like others I downloaded the audio files from Varmit Al's website (the files are free). I then transferred to a CD with several minutes of silence to start. (This gives me time to get away from the caller, into a tree stand etc). I transferred the CD to standard cassette tape, since my yard sale BOOM BOX had both CD and tape cassette capacity. Most boom boxes operate both on AC and with DC batteries. Obviously in the woods I run DC. The tape and CD both run for an hour which is plenty of time. No amplifiers are needed, they don't call these things boom boxes for nothing. If you have an old boom box around the house, this can be a no cost introduction to electronic calling.
