Title: Coyote howlers
Post by: foxtrot on February 26, 2009, 08:26:59 PM

Just wondering what coyote howler everyone likes?I like the sound of the elk howler but it can be a little frustrating dealing with stuck diaphrams.

Dan Thompson pup howler works great. I also believe that we have a member here who makes outstanding howlers. Still waiting for mine.

I like the sound of the pup howler you have.
BP has one of buckwheats howlers,it sounds real good also.
I have 1 from l4f's,it is camo laminate,also the dog talkers have done well in my neck of the woods.

Bigben, cutting your own bands really opens the door to a lot of possibilities.I quess it wouldn't have to be latex, could be nitrile or some other products.

I am pretty sure the latex ones worked the best.   but the textured latex was better.  the nitrle is actually to stiff and you need alot of air to make it work right.

easy. You know I can't stop.   So what are these bands setting you  back?   75 cents a pop?

actually I think the ones you can buy pre cut are pretty expensive once you factor in shipping.  plus my cut ones sound better then the bought ones atleast to me.  alot of it has to do with when the dang things roll on ya and do not work.

Quaker boy makes a howler plus that sounds really good to me but hasn't proven its self.Also i think a persons mouth structure has a lot to do with how a call is going to sound.What works for one person might not work for someone else.

  Major Boddicker Crit-R-Calls are all awesome and work. Like his Magnum open reed and the Song Dog Jr.    Dave Dunbars pup howler is good and easy to use, 
One of the most easiest to use would be Primos Lil Dogs...a two pack,  2 each open reed calls that you attach a provided megaphone to either or.


You start to get into the Primos Hot Dogs,  then the Red Desert Howlers, they are good but harder for the new callers to use.

I like the Power Howler. One of the best I've heard.

Ben, they sell the bands for the Power Howler at Chambersburg Gander Mtn. for 3 bucks for 4 of them.
