I am wondering what other's thoughts are on hand calls vs digital calls? When I got into this, I was sold on the idea of using digital calls, decoys and all of that. I thought it sounded like a great idea to keep the noise and movement away from you, so that you don't get busted but what about the tradeoff? Digital sounds are all very similar with no real room for variety and putting a decoy out in front of you just means you could get busted earlier when the dog picks up the scent and realizes it's a trick. We know coyotes and cats both will come straight into a mouth call. Sometimes a lot closer than we want them to!
So which way is truly best? I think they are about equal... with both having pros and cons. I've got a Foxpro FX5 and the Jack in the Box decoy but I think I am going to work more on my manual calling skills to provide myself more flexibility.
Thoughts?
