Howls and pup whines

[bluedog250]

I keep hearing it is time to start thinking about using howls and pup whines for calling, What kind of howls and whines? Challange calls or greeting howls? On the pup whines are these like the hurt pup calls or something different? Is there somewhere I can hear these calls to know what they might sound like if they are different? I have both the challange and greeting howls and the hurt pup, I'm ready to mix it up and try something other than distress calls.
Thanks guys!

bluedog250,

You can start a stand with lonesome howl, wait a few seconds and give them another lonesome howl, wait about a minute, then go to a distress sound. I like to go to the puppy whines on low volume. This way if a coyote is sneaking in to check you out it will keep his attention and usually bring him on in. This just sounds like regular puppys whineing. This is a good sound to use this time of year and even better a little later. I believe it works on their parental insticts. If that doesn't produce a responce you can sometimes get them stired up with a challenge howl. Hit it a lick or two and go back to the puppy whine, or a prey distress sound. Coyotes, at least in my area seen to be more aggresive, and protective of their territory this time of year. I don't use many coyote vocalization at all, excect this time of year. Many people use them all through the year. Howling is all the rage it seems these day's. If were not careful it will end up like the bugleing for elk did. When bugleling first became the fad thing to do, bulls were lots easier to bugle in. Now that most everybody that elk hunts blows bugles, the elk have learned to keep their mouth shut. Howling is just another tool in the bag. Nothing works every time, all the time. If it did I'd quit.

Good Hunting

;)Watching the Keith Warren show last weekend, and saw predator caller Randy Anderson use a "submissive" howl that brought in that dominant male almost immediately!

Quite a show seeing that yote running across the snow covered field to get shot!!
