The phrase identifies the highest-performing devices used to attract coyotes through electronically synthesized or amplified sounds. These devices typically feature a library of recorded animal sounds, including coyote vocalizations and prey distress calls, broadcast through a speaker system. Their effectiveness hinges on realistic sound reproduction, volume control, and durability in outdoor environments.
Employing these tools offers several advantages to wildlife management professionals, hunters, and researchers. They allow for precise control over the type and timing of calls, potentially increasing success rates in attracting target animals. Historically, such practices relied on mouth-blown calls or other less sophisticated methods, offering significantly less versatility and control.
