Using bird-in-distress sounds can help you call more coyotes, whether your choice is an e-caller or hand calls. Combine a favorite bird call with a decoy for an extra dose of realism and get ready for action.
HuntStand Pro Mark Kayser knows the value of bird-in-distress calls when it comes to calling hungry coyotes. Birds in distress are an easy meal for predators, and when local coyotes, foxes and bobcats hear bird sounds they come running.
In this video Kayser offers insight into one of his favorite bird calls, the .22-250 Bird Distress Cartridge Call from Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls. He also recommends pairing your bird sounds with a decoy, with two good choices being a turkey or a goose.
If you’re looking to add some spice and variety to your coyote hunting, infusing bird sounds into your calling is a great answer. Along the way you’ll likely lure more coyotes and have more shot opportunities.
Are you ready to experience the difference that birds sounds can make in your coyote hunting? Grab a few favorite hand calls, or maybe your e-caller, and head to your favorite coyote haunt. Then fire up those bird sounds!
