    Coyote calling question

    I have a handheld electronic coyote call (no remote) that I plan to use this season. I also have a stand that I plan on hunting from. Will it be a mistake to call from an elevated stand? Will they realize that the call is up in the trees and know somethings up?

    Thanks

    Only thing you can do is try it. My feeling is they will definitely know it's up there but only when they get close enough for a shot.

      How long will your calling device sound without human interaction? If it will keep running until you shut it off I would leave it on the ground 20 yards or so away. They will key in the caller and give you some minor freedom to move to take a shot
      Yard work is not an excuse!

          Can you put a wired speaker on the ground that is plugged or wired into to the handheld. For my old Johnny Stewart, I made up a 60 foot of speaker wire from a hard wired bent up metal cone truck radio speaker and a RC plug on the base end. The base speaker turns off when the other speaker is plugged in. I rattle canned camo'd the speaker and wire.

            Just use bird and squirrel calls if you're stuck with the sound in the tree. Then put a coaxer on the ground. Movement of your silhouette in the sky will be your biggest challenge. Predators have an unbelievable easy time seeing the slightest flicker.

            My son and I both have FoxPro remote calls, we will put one on the ground at 20-40 yards in front of us with a coaxer and another in a tree above it on a hill with a raven call not downwind.

              I call from a stand quite a bit and they don’t seem to notice. If anything ithelps because they have a harder time locating the source of the call. They don’t look for a dieing rabbit up in a tree and spend time walking around it. I normally start with short quiet calls and get longer and louder until something shows up.
