using the siren to locate coyotes

[jpsflock]

how long do you play the sound before stopping it to listen. what is the best time of the day to be using it to locate, i've tried this before but have never had anything responed to the siren. does it seem to work better during different times of the year,or can it be used year round.

Night . It doesn't take them long either... As soon as the siren blast they start howling immediately... Emergency vehicles in the distances too.. Had that happen twice.. That was immediate also...I was hunting one night with Scott... Maybe he will see this and post.. police siren couple miles away yet... They just started howling.. Also a train whistle too...I think one of those air horns that attach to an aerosol can will trigger them to howl if they are there...Also...again as soon as the siren and or the whistle goes off they will start to howl... So don't keep playing the siren for long periods of time... Let it rip just for about 15 seconds and then you should hear them open up shortly there after...Neat thing what a good feeling to know that they are there... I have actually called them into me just after hearing them howl from an emergency vehicle passing by my hunting area..  The sound of the emergency siren in the distance, then the coyotes howling and then to actually call one in and missed it because I was using one of those cheap Home Depot head strap white cash register lights on my head.. As soon as the white light hit it I got the shotgun up fast and he was that fast out of shotgun range just that quick...Wish I would have had the Nitelite red head light on my head that night...

I had a few dogs...Just playing a harmonica use to get them howling.  Actually a toy clarinet would get them going too.. So it doesn't take much to trigger that howling in a canine...Two hound dogs too... When they chase rabbits the howl are short when they howl to the instruments the howl is long and drawn out just like a coyote...You have a dog try it with something like a harmonica or with one of your kids toy musical instruments... If you have a siren on your Foxpro...try it near your dog.. You might get them howling...Don't know if it hurts their ears or is it just that canine trigger that happens???

I had a group howl at a fire whistle on evening. I waited about a half an hour hit the siren on my foxpro and not a peep. I have never had that siren work for me. I really don't use it anymore should just take it off my scorpion....Rick
