Re: .30-06 + Elk; Cow Carcass & Coyotes....

The first time I went to Alaska I was told rabbit calls would not work on wolves..and my friends who had been there told me they can't be called in..

This guy was howling the 2nd night I got dropped off with a tent on my own for a week to hunt caribou..got up in the dark about 1/2 hour before daylight heading his way..at light I could see him about 800 yards away..broke out the rabbit call and let her ripp so to speak, pun intended , he got up, looked my way --I hit it again and he come trotting my way..I ranged him off and on as he was coming in..once he hit 300 yards, I clicked off my safety on the 7-300 I was shooting and waited for him to stop..which he did at 267..hammered him with a 150 gr scirroco...he never knew what hit him...

As to loud cow calls,,I have been using an open reed call for quite a few year..don't remember the name of it off hand but will look tonight when I get home and let you know--it is louder than the one you described as my hunting buddy uses that one so I am familiar with it..also wonder if it would help to use the cow call into a grunt tube.??

I really do feel you can call them--think it might be better if you spot them first and then hit the call to draw them in...at least that worked for me..plan to do a bit of that myself given the opportunity...

Good luck..
