I have it but have yet to use it... However I have been calling at night time on two occassions. Eemergency vehicles went by some well over a mile away and coyotes started howling in areas that I was hunting in..However it's good to have.. Just say you go out of town and want to hunt coyotes hard on public lands... The FP siren will allow you to know that coyotes are there...  My coyote siren is my # 1 (First) sound on my FX5.

yes i really want to get the siren downloaded wanted it for the hunt this wkend guess ill have to play around with it this week and see if i can get it. but for now i got to get out there and make do with what i got time is a wasting. so far only 2 coyotes entered in the Cresson hunt, sure there will be more to come as it winds down. hopefully this winds slacks off some

The siren can also be used if you get busted by someone coming to your calling... Hit the siren and they will know for sure that the howling and coyote vocalization is not the real thing... I one time had a guy come into my FX5 coyote scenario in the daytime.. Thank God that I was using the electronics with the remote and I was not standing by the speaker.. Had  I been using the mouth calls he might have shot me.. By the way on his back he was tothing a lever action rifle... He told me he heard the coyotes and he came in for them.. guy was just a neighbor and did not even have permission to hunt...

Since then I have put on the Star Spangled Banner,  Anderson Bugle Taps,  Anderson Bugle Charge, and Anderson Bugle Reveille to use if someone bust me when I'm using the FX5...  however the siren will work.. figure the person already busted you.  Make him jump out of his shoes a bit and hit him with the siren for about 30 seconds...

Uncle Buck   you are so correct...   I have the siren programed #1 on my scorpion for that same reason...  The look is priceless when you hit it...

When you guys use the siren to locate coyotes, How long do you run it before you turn it off to listen? Also I've been driving around state game lands, forest lands and farm areas, getting out of the truck and hitting the siren. Is this a standard practice to locate dogs?

I only use mine as a warning...

I hunt around the city and suburbs of Pittsburgh... So I don't send a false alarm because someone will hear it where I'm hunting... lol... But when that curious neighbor comes looking for the poor screaming animal, well, ----- you get the point...  :)
