I am older and would like to start calling coyotes and coons just for fun. Not looking to maximize the fur collected, but do want to show improvement. Mainly I want to learn a new skill while being outdoors. I live northern Michigan where it is very forested. I plan to call after deer season and probably will need to focus on cedar swamps and river bottoms. For coons, I may do some pre-deer season calling, and early spring or during a winter thaw.
I have reached a point in life where I gravitate towards simple over complex, and am leaning towards a few hand/mouth calls instead of an e-caller. How many calls do I need per species to be effective and yet keep things simple? I am not trying to maximize success in every scenario, but rather take the right number and type of calls that are the most versatile and effective.
I appreciate your insight.
Thanks much.
