so heres how my day went.......... couple weeks ago my uncle n i ran a twine line from our hide on a cliff face down to a tree in our shooting lane. went out there today n hooked the call up to it and ran it out to about 30 yards so the call would be out there n our scent wouldnt be. we had everything, well more than everything......and that was our downfall. we had our call, our smokes, our 13 yr old cousin had his cell phone. spent all of 5 minutes with the call on a low volume setting before we heard the swift trot of either a coyote or a fox when the 13 yr olds phone started ringing. we called it 2 hours later after we didnt hear anything else. over all the call volume being lower was a big help, figuring out how to not have our scent right on the call also helped. however, the cell phone was what kept us from seeing what has been running all around scaring our dogs up. maybe another time .............
