Ok, I will toss out a little I have learned over the years, and I have put my fair share in the bone yard. Do your home work if you want to be a successful caller, and that means taking the time to locate. Early morning, or right at dark are the best times to go out and locate areas that are best to call. You might try howling, or if you have a siren to locate with that works good as well. Once you locate a group, or individuals, and have decided where to set up, then when you do go into that location go in as quiet as possible. You are going into an area where you know they are already, so no need to make things more difficult. Know the direction of the wind, and take it into consideration when choosing your calling location. Most will try to work down wind from the call, so use that to your advantage, and setup accordingly. Give it time, and keep your head on a swivel at all times, things can happen real fast at times, so always be ready for anything. Make sure your equipment is ready to go, and in good condition, and always have the best equipment your personally able to afford. I have found out over the years purchasing quality items to use afield has never been a bad investment for me. Good luck, and I hope you get a pile of song dogs….............RTT
