I've been coyote calling for about a year. I've bought six callers and tried about a dozen. The Primos Hot Dog has more tonal and vocal range than any howler I've tried. The reed is fairly wide and long, giving it quite a bit of variation. This also makes it a little more difficult to master. It took me a couple hours practice to get a good feel for the call, and a couple more hours to feel comfortable enough to take it out on a stand. If you don't have any experience with howlers, I would go with a smaller caller, like the Primos Little Dog, which comes with two reeds--a medium and a small. On the other hand, if you have done some howling, and you're ready to move on and expand your repertoire, the Hot Dog is a great choice. I have two custom, somewhat more expensive callers, and neither one of them can produce a variety of coyote vocalizations as well as the Hot Dog. Ki-yis, whimpers, pup distress, female invitation howls, old male challenge howls, mid-range adolescent interrogation howls, barks, prey distress (cottontail, jackrabbit, crow, woodpecker), fawn bleats, buck snorts, doe bleats..., this caller can do them all. Put in a little practice and the Hog Dog will do everything you need.

This is my favorite coyote call and my favorite dog whistle too. I use this to call coyotes up on a regular basis because it is so versatile. I also use it when my border collies are out roaming a long way from the house. They'll come running even when they're a mile or so away. I used it at my little sister's college graduation, and all the air horn people were like "WHAT?!?!" One time when I had the dogs out about 3 miles from home I used it to call them back to the pickup. Driving back to the house I saw 2 little coyotes headed straight to where I was calling that must have come from 5 miles away.Reed wore out after a few years, but this thing is really great. Every band should have one. I even auditioned for the Aaron Watson Band with mine, but Aaron thought I was an idiot. One day I'll show him.

Seems like a quality call, solid plastic construction. Haven't had much success yet, but I'm chalking that up to learning how to make the call do what I want at this point.

There are plenty of open-reed calls that are better than this one. I'll keep it for a spare, or toss it into the glove box of my car so I can use it for a locator call when driving around at night.

Absolutely awesome. I hunt coyotes in southern California and have spent two years experimenting with all types of calls even fox pro electronic callers and would get nothing every time. When I got this caller I was very doubtful, but the first morning out at a spot where I began to believe there was no coyotes at I began to howl with this call and immediately the desert lit up with coyotes howling every where. Later had a coyote come within 25 yards of me. This was the best money I ever spent. Little tricky at first to learn how to use it but not bad at all with a little patience.

I'm still practicing, it certainly has got the attention of my wife and kids. It since has become a good tool to get the kids out of the bed in the morning, I'll soon have an opportunity to try it out in the field.It is loud enough and I got a good laugh every time I practice, might be the only instrument I'll ever learn to play. When not used for coyote hunting, it will be a good entertainment for the whole family.
