I wanted to share with y'all what happened this afternoon while trying to call in a coyote with the JS preymaster 3. I had the sound "red shafted flicker" turned on when in comes this half grown red tail hawk. He dove at my decoy (guinea hen feathers tied with thread to a carbon arrow) several times before lighting right above me. I snuck my camera out of my fanny pack and snapped this shot. Looking staight up at him. He's in the center of the pic:

He's looking at the guinea feather. I think I heard his stomach growling. :D
The next episode happened at my last set up of the evening. I was in some open woods facing a cut over pines. I was intently scanning the terrain when all of a sudden I heard metallic tinkling sounds. I jerked my head back around to the direction of my speaker (50 feet out, 5 feet up in a sapling) and there was a big red tail trying to get a grip on the speaker with his feet!!!! I was using the "baby cottontail" sound. I tried to grab my camera for a pic, but I was slow on the draw!
I didn't see a coyote this evening, but it wasn't an uneventful hunt.
 
Pretty cool.
Wait till you are calling and a red tailed hawk swoops down and actually takes your buddy's hat off his head.
Now THAT is FUNNY !

I like to use mouth calls quite a bit, and have felt the wind off the air force more than a few times. It will defenitley get your attention and keep you alert! It's stuff like that, that keeps you going back even though you have a "dry run" :cool:

Yep, it will make for a fun trip for sure.
That is when my partner and I decided we weren't doing THAT bad of a job calling.
We figured if we called in hawks at least part of it sounded ok. :D
 
Really cool. I had the same deal with an owl of some sort last week. I didn't have a decoy, so he just kept staring at the speaker.
