Quick Answer
A high-pitched, nasal coyote call that mimics a distressed juvenile coyote works best with .22 WMR equipment, as it can effectively lure coyotes into close range.
Best Coyote Call Options for .22 WMR
When selecting a coyote call for use with .22 WMR equipment, consider a call that produces a high-pitched, nasal sound, often referred to as a “distressed juvenile” or “pup-in-jeopardy” call. This pitch and tone are most effective at luring coyotes into close range. Look for calls that can produce a range of 2-4 kHz, with a nasal quality that is reminiscent of a coyote pup.
Tips for Using Coyote Calls with .22 WMR
When using a coyote call with .22 WMR equipment, remember to start with a subtle, brief call, and gradually increase the volume and duration as needed. This approach allows you to gauge the coyote’s response and adjust your call accordingly. Aim to keep the call within 100-150 yards of your target, as coyotes are more likely to respond to a call that is within their typical vocal range.
Call Placement and Equipment Considerations
When placing your coyote call, consider the terrain and topography of the area. Look for a spot with a clear view of the surrounding area, and a vantage point that allows you to see potential escape routes. Additionally, make sure your .22 WMR equipment is set up for effective range and accuracy, with a scope or sight that allows for precise targeting. When it comes to call placement, aim for locations with high coyote activity, such as near water sources or food caches.
