To get the sound and focus away from me

might be the trick for daylight hunting, but at night I want them focusing on me... that way I got eyes coming straight in to my stand and lights... not depending on them looking to the sides hoping I see them... eyes don't show up well looking at'em sideways...
when you step out the truck, you become part of the food chain...

 Yea, i know but i got to rib you guys. I use electrontic caller to keep animals attention off me during the day. Most of my calls are (first made by hand calls.) I only use e caller as coxer during the day and night. At night i keep e caller at my feet. I want to keep there attention on me so i can see eyes under a red lights comming in. A squeaker type sound sucks them in for the shot..

I use em to get the sound away from me.  I have been using them more and more at night.  hunting downwind away from the call.  at night.  during the day I use them for the same thing.  sometimes I actually hunt with the caller behind me with me facing downwind.  depends on the weather conditions.  also for sounds I cannot make on a hand call.

that is what I thought for a good bit till I tried it.  think on this.  if you know a red or coyote is heading downwind in the first place why watch the caller.  you allready know what it looks like.  the one coyote this year I called in I could not see the caller.  I wasn't worried about it either.  I was hunting for a animal that I knew circles down wind most of the time.  guess what I seen that coyote.  I am not saying every stand stick the call behind you.  I have also done this to a extent in the past at night while hunting on full moon nights.  I will stick the caller behind me 10 or so yards.  I am positioned 30 yds away from the field edge.  most reds I have called come in runnin up the edge of the woods then come straight at me once they get to a 90 deg angle.  greys you generally hear them coming.  better get ready quick when they are on the move through the woods though.  they are on ya.
