When playing the female invitation howl on my FoxPro Shockwave electronic caller, I will let it play for two to three minutes. Remember, this is used as part of your calling sequence. When a female makes this sound, she will repeat it several times to make sure she is getting the attention of nearby males. The female invitation howl is made by making the basic long howl, only cutting the second note short. If the diaphragm is not your favorite, you can use an open-reed call or an electronic call. Both are a double-reed call, which is excellent for imitating several different types of coyote vocalizations. A couple of my favorites include the FoxPro Smokin’ Gun Howler or Johnny Stewart Double Talk’n Dog. To make this sound on a call, you can use a diaphragm howler. This sound is just as the name refers-it is an invitation from one coyote to another to say, “Let’s meet up.”ĭuring the breeding season, females will often make this sound when ready to breed. The second sound to be leveraged during breeding season is the female invitation howl.
The male howl is a deeper sounding howl that can be applied throughout the year, yet during the breeding period, the chances of success are higher. Male howls can be made on a diaphragm call, open-reed hand call, or by using an electronic caller.
As for females, when they hear your howls, if the time is right, they will assume that it could be a potential mate. When using male howls, you will get the territorial attention of other coyotes, making them curious enough to respond to the call. With new males showing up, using their howls is the right choice. Like a buck in the whitetail rut, during the breeding season of coyotes, male coyotes began traveling a broader area as they search for females in heat. Throughout most of the year, I continually scout the area I hunt to verify that coyotes are in the country and to get an approximate number. The first sound that I began to incorporate into my calling is male howls. No matter the scenario, by mimicking the sounds that coyotes are making, you will likely witness exciting responses and experience a higher success rate. Different sounds may also be used to show dominance among males as well as dominance among females. Some of these sounds may be used to attract males to females. During this time, coyotes use an array of sounds to communicate with each other for breeding purposes. Using actual coyote sounds to introduce yourself into the area, especially during the breeding period of February and early March, is the perfect choice. I quickly got on my rifle and made a successful shot at a mere 60 yards. While doing so, I caught the movement of a coyote bouncing into the field-likely to see why another coyote was in his area. After howling a few times, I looked down at my remote to select the next call sequence. I started the first sequence with three to four deep howls on a diaphragm call, trying to imitate a male coyote. Arriving at a small field, I put my electronic call 35 yards into the open, tucked myself into the edge of the timber, and began a calling sequence. While a few of my friends headed to a state park to fish, I made my way through the snow to a location I had been saving. I was deciding whether to fish or hunt when a winter storm came through the area, dropping several inches of snow. Being an avid predator hunter, the first day of March signifies something higher on my priority list-calling coyotes during the breeding season.Ī few years ago, the first day of March fell on a Sunday. Anglers gather at their favorite destinations in hopes of kicking off the year with a stringer of rainbow trout. Try these calling strategies when coyotes are looking for love.įor many Missouri outdoors enthusiasts, the first day of March signifies the opening day of trout season. Effective late-winter calling means understanding coyote behavior and messing with their heads.
