I walked out to call this area in WY, got sat down slight breeze in my face, reached into pockets for calls, no calls, left em in the truck. So I decided to call with my voice instead of walking back to the truck, I was at least 3/4 mile out.
I had my dog with me, I start calling like a human baby crying, off and on like I would a rabbit in distress.
