I have a few different howlers. I am slowly getting better at howling, but was wondering if there was a howler that was just "easier" to use than others. I have a Red desert, and a Sceery. Is one of the custom howlers easier to use proficiently than these?

Thanks Much!!

IYM,

Niether of the two howlers you have now are bad, but neither are what I would consider an "easy driver".

If you can drive either of them, you are doing well, and a custom howler wouldn't be out of the question.

Yellerdog's Howlers are very easy to drive, and will have a similar tonal quality to the Red Desert.
A Cronk Howler is equally easy to howl with, but the addition of a cow horn adds tonal quality few wood or plastic howlers can get, and buffalo horn is supposed to have the best quality of all.
A howler from BradH, with it's artwork, and a mouthpiece made from the horn, is another way to go, with so many "features" going for it the value is easliy justfied.

Your biggest decision in howlers is size. You can have large "war horns" that practically take a backpack of their own, on down to a modified CritR Call that can easily be lost in your pocket.
There are advantages to both.

Proficiency is best learned by talking to the coyotes themselves, there's no better teachers.
It's more about what you say, than what you say it with.

The Sceery and Red Desert are both good calls. I have used both and they both take quiet a bit of air to get'em going. The easiest howler to control, yips, barks, long-lone howls, ki-yi's etc. I think is the Howler Plus by Quaker Boy.

The next easiest to blow is the Lohman model 285 howler. This howler makes great howls but takes a little more work to do ki-yi's, challenge howls. It has a thicker reed than the the Quaker Boy howler, is why I think it takes a little more work.
These are just my personal preference.
Good Luck
 
I agree with Varmint243 on the Quaker Boy howlers. I’ve got several of the Q.B. Pro Coyote Howlers. One of the easiest howlers I have used, easy to clean and tune. It is an open reed call designed to be used as a closed reed call but by simply removing the plastic barrel the open reed is exposed. Makes a good variable pitch howl. Cronk calls are time proven, my hunting partner owns one of his cow horn howlers, an excellent call. I don't own a Sceery or Red Desert. Not had much luck with Lohman calls. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
I have a few different howlers and there are some that are easier to use. After my first couple purchases I went the custom way. Never regretted it. I have a cowhorn from Rich Cronk and a Howler from Yellerdog. Both of these are easy to use and have lots of volume.

I also carry a Sceery howler alot and this one I "customed" myself. Cut the barrel and worked the voice a bit. I also have a few that never leave the house. Production models that use lots of air and not much control. I don't have any of the other models mention here so I cannot comment on them.

My advise is to stick to a call that has a good reputation and learn that call. Pratice while watching a coyote hunting video or instructional tape. Make you call sound the same as what you hear from the video or tape. Once this is down then hit the field and try out on the real coyotes. My Sceery came with a good instruction tape and Rich Cronk provided a great cassette that still travels with me in my truck. Yellerdogs calls I just applied what I got from the other two.

Good luck

iowayoteman,
I have been using cow horn howlers for a couple years. To answer your question about which one is the easiest to use. I really like my cronk horn for locating but i think that sometimes it is alittle too much. what i mean is it may be too loud and sound too mature during the day. I have had the most yotes come in to my Elk Inc yote howler. They also have a dvd power howling coyotes and the very first series of howls they do is what has worked for me. i buy from allpredatorcalls.com and his service is first rate. this isn't the power howler that they also sell. hope this helps
