I use both. I learned to use hand calls by mimmicing the sounds from the cassettes on an old Burham Brothers portable caller( weighted about 15lds). Still got it and still works with the original battery from over 28 years ago. OAC if your cutting your teeth on a blade a grass you may want to try blowing across the grass rather than dragging it through your teeth. Its a wonder you aint cut your lips off.LOL OH yea got a new firestorm e caller but cant read the durn lettering half the time. Its a wonder how small they can make letters nowadays.

I love the choice for blade of grass. I use hand calls only........but i plan on getting an e caller soon. I wanted to take my first coyote with a hand call. In my silly mind i figured i had to work or earn my way to get a e caller. I would like an e caller for those windy days but i will always use hand calls. Im gonna learn the blade of grass call so i can save some money on calls:)
BIG FOOT DOES NOT EXIST, stop embarressing your selfs on tv and educating coyotes with those redicoulous big foot calls.

Use mouth blown calls for the last 30 years, would like to try e-calls sometime, but feel I have more control of the mouthblown call.

Hand calls mostly but I think that both are good to have in your bag of tricks.

I have become more of an e-caller as of late I do supplement with hand calls and occasionally use them alone.

Use both but ecall most of the time. It frees you up to shoot or shine the light much better!

Spitfire most of the time but I carry a variety of hand calls for when I want to call louder or the batteries go dead. Lots of times I'll call with the hand calls and keep the Spitfire on low volume rodent squeaks 50 yards away from me.
