It's been out of the game for a while and life has slowed back down where I can get out and call again.
Had a group of 3-4 hang up in the distance earlier. My CS24C is down so we were using hand calls.
Started with a howl, went to cottontail distress and followed that with another set of howls. The second set of howl calls generated a response from what seemed like a big male and his pack.
Never got them to break any closer even when trying to mimic them with a serenade type sequence and ki-yis. They were a LONG way off, but when they first responded they were much closer.
I'm inclined to think they were coming to the cottontail distress after the initial howls and were only threatened and retreated after subsequent calls.
Thoughts? What's the normal go to?
