I'm planning on going after yotes. I want to get an electronic call. What calls electronic and mouth do you guys recommend? I'll probably start this fall when I'm done bow hunting.

I like to use reed calls and any of the doe/fawn bleat calls especialy primos ,the stuffs expensive .

but I wait til after hunting season and kmart and the other box stores will clearance all the (seasonal) hunting stuff

last year i picked up three different elk cow calls for $7 at retail during the season they were each $20-$25

P.S. washington state does not allow any kind of electronic calls/decoys for hunting ,

which is strange because except the months of sept, oct & nov ,you can hunt yotes at night with spot lights

I like the tape players with at least 50 or 100ft. of speaker cord and combine this with a rigor rabbit. This combo brings them in and distracts their attention away from my location, allowing me to move enough to get off a shot. I take a rifle and a shotgun with BB's, good combo.

I use the injured rabbit call, it does work well for me. You need to set the speaker up away from you, depending on your terrain maybe 50 feet, maybe 100 feet away.

For the past 5 years, I have used mine will it was next to me and 50 feet away, but the hills limit my shooting area.

Have fun,

Jerry

I use numerous different calls, I believe some coyotes get wise to the same call.
