Wanted to compare notes from others who have more experience Mouth-calling predators.
I'm looking for more of a general guide line in terms of, by species, how long to you call for, then how long do you wait before calling again. Also maybe which calls do you typically start off with, and when do you decide to change it up to another kind of call, and how long to wait before going over to that other type of call.
For instance:
I vaguely recall from asking this question before elsewhere, whomever that was suggested 15-30 seconds of calling... then waiting 2-3 minutes before next calling sequence, for like the first up to 3 times. Then they suggested bumping up the in-between wait time to 3-5 minutes.
They said if going for Bobcats, they take a little longer to come in and you should go up to even 45-60minutes total on a spot if they are your goal.
I'm looking for info like this. The patterns and types of calls you generally execute, and the way the sequence is strung together dependent on species.
I hope to get another shot on a Coyote. I have a tag for a BobCat. (Both of which I can use the eCaller for) but I also know some places where Gray Foxes have come in to the eCaller. But you can't use eCaller when calling in Gray Foxes... so I want to have a better grasp and game plan in mind for those times I choose to go old school when there is a good chance a Grey Fox will come in as well.
So: Coyote, Bobcat, Gray Fox. With just Mouth Calls. How do YOU do it?
