I used to use a little ten dollar plastic still cottontail distress call made by Primos. Even though I called and killed many a coyote with that call, over the past twenty years I've become more and more dependent of my Foxpro calls.
The other evening I got set up above a creek bottom where I'd found a deer kill a couple days earlier. When I pulled out my Foxpro Fusion I saw I'd neglected to turn it off the last time I used it. I'd also used three of the eight spare duracells I carry to replace the batteries in my remote, so I was short on good batteries, so, once again, I was down to my little plastic Primos.
I eased over to where I could see into the creek bottom I was hoping to call a coyote up out of, and found myself a tree to lean against. With my rifle cradled in my right arm, I began calling with the Primos. It took a couple series to get it sounding just right again but it wasn't long until I spotted a coyote trying to circle in downwind of me through the bottom timber. I gave him a little moan on the Primos that turned him toward me, so I got my rifle up and found him in my scope. Just as I picked him up, he stopped about 100 yards from me looking right at me. He was about forty feet below my stand and 100 yards out, giving me a straight on chest shot. I quickly took the shot he was giving, and dropped him with a single shot. It's always satisfying to bring one home with a mouth call.
Turned out to be a nice male coyote.
