I actually prefer a hand call if I'm calling at night with lights. For example I've hunted a plenty in Texas with lights at night. Sometimes we'd set the call out there just like you would during the day. If those eyes aren't pointing in your direction, they ain't gonna shine. So that's where a hand call definitely does make a difference. I've had my buddies looking at a coyote that I couldn't see several times just because it wasn't looking where I was because I was off to one side of the call or the other. If I'm hunting off of a tripod I sure ain't trying to drag more gear out into the field with me than I need to. Because I plan on having to drag a coyote back. If the sound is coming from me I sure ain't gotta worry about whether or not a critter is looking in my direction or not. If it is it's gonna have its eyes full of red light.
