I got 2 tags as a part of their PLM system and chose to go a DIY route with a friend who was willing to drive me and some buddies around.

    Getting into Coyote hunting

    For E-callers any Foxpro or Lucky Duck will do. Or go cheaper and get an Icotech or older Primos model and load it with Steve Criner, Brushwolf Hunter, Tony Tebbe, and Boss Predator Acoustics sounds. On most ranches/properties my buddy and I hunt we use his Lucky Duck Revolution or Revolt...
