DARYL_W,
I haven't been out much yet this year, I'm still trying to regain my stamina after the bypass surgery. To answer your question, when I am calling open country I use strictly mouth calls. Here in western Iowa, most of my calling is done in or very near to thick cover. In this situation I use both electronic and mouth calls. I have some pup squeals on my Bandit caller. I set the caller fifty yards or more cross-wind of my chosen setup. My howling is done on a cow horn howler, usually two or three lonesome howls. After waiting in silence a few minutes I repeat the howls, wait a few minutes in silence and then hit the pup squeals on the Bandit.
