Default Snowshoe Hare sounds

I bought some extra coyote calls from Primus for my turbo dogg and find them screechy and mechanical, there is also no snowshoe hare distress. Does anybody have some coyote calls that work for them, that they would be willing to share. I am zero for 5 on coyote calling.

Pulling 0/5 sets coyote calling can be very common even with the best calling. Dog hunting aint easy.

The primos cottontail sounds sound tinny and scratchy at high volume but somehow coyotes still come to em. Few tips are to keep the volume lower and switch from the cottontail to the baby jack sounds. Most importantly keep at it and always walk to the stand quietly as if a coyote already knows something is up.

I have five different brands of predator calls and an E-caller, all sound different even when comparing calls that are supposed to represent a particular species of prey.

Yet they all work reasonably well. At least for me they do.

I have to admit that I do have a favorite call. I really like the tone of my Circe call.

I've heard snowshoe hare scream and this call comes the closest to what I heard.

If it makes chills run up your spine it's a good call.

The sound is the least important part of calling yotes in my experience. The actual set up is what really matters, if that's right darn near any sound will work. Guys get way to hung up on the sounds and forget the big picture.

^^^^ This for sure! ^^^^

I've called coyotes well into shooting distance just by whistling and chirping with my lips. Even if you have rabbit tied to the tree beside you and you're poking it with a hot dog roaster, dogs won't come in if the set up is wrong. Set up is everything!

Just another hint, even your truck in the distance can cause game over.

This is worth reading five times over, especially with all the pressure yotes are receiving.
