Using HM bandwidth for such disgusting topics! Danny, did you see the TP before you used the sniff test, or the taste test? At least your quarry was well prepared, but had no "cat" genes, or he would have buried it, eh?
Anyway, your hunting days are almost over, pal. With the number of daughters you already have on the ground, you need to start saving ALL your spare change for those weddings. I know something about that subject, $.
Good hunting. LB

I have 4 of the above calls you named..2 i have used..The standard critter and the Tally ho.
Both are excelent calls..As a call maker i am very fond of my own..I don't sale calls,i just enjoy making them..I make what fits my own taste of what a call should sound like..I just finished up a neon orange double open reed call today..I named it "the double hammer neon"I can slide my teeth up all the way on the reeds and do group puppy howls or 1/3 the way up and do cat fighting sounds..I made a neon howler a couple weeks ago..These calls are slow for me to make..They are hand made using plastics..These will make good night hunting calls if i should drop one"the color neon" realy sticks out when a light is flashed on it..Later i may post a picture of some of my calls and a 55 pound coyote i killed.

Melvin,
I admire artistry & ingenuity. Art runs in my family as well(natural born, drawer's & painters that is). This is something I have seen in All of you call-makers. I could admire them (your calls)all day long..(Not to mention, they facinate me because, it ties into predator-huntin).
I'll probably tinker into it(call-making) later, this summer as well. I've known & read about some of the old-time call-makers & callers, many years ago.
Just around a 1 1/2yrs ago, did I decided to give it (callin)a try. Glad I did, as this has given me the opportunity to continue. What passion I have for these animals. Not to mention, it gets me out into the field.
I truely enjoy matching my skills & experience against some of the smartest mammals on Earth. I don't know what your huntin territory looks like. But if you ever have the opportunity. Try spot/stalking coyotes in the winter snow. It is very fun & quite challenging to say the least. Especially if the snow is "loud"

Since the e-callers and mouthcalls both have their place, I carry both the Foxpro 416 w/Remote and Verminator's Thumper & Tweety on my Reese's No-Noise 2-call/remote braided lanyard.
Have some closed-reed and open-reed calls, but these go hunting.
Foxpro, Thumper, Tweety and Remote:

Watched him on The Verminators Predator or Prey DVD and was really impressed how far the yotes were responding to Tweety with the crosswinds as strong as they were. Sagebrush really leaning over and the yotes started out as small specks on the horizone.
I also have the Randy Anderson Hot-Dog, Li'l Dog and Ki-Yi calls that get results....

Swampbird,
To me a call is like a musical instrument,if its tuned right and plays to the sound that a coyote likes then you got a good call.Most all calls work but some work better.I bet most guys here would say that they have there preferred calls they carry"ones that seem to bring better results"or like a good musical instrument that is easier to play.
..........................................
Like that tv show that use to be on" play that tune".......Good Luck
