yea i only tried this once. We hade yotes like once a week coming right into my back yard, these things can make some noise, there were about three of them and constantly howled and yelped, one of the weirdest things ive ever heard. I bought just a general call and tried it out and never got a response, not sure what i was doing wrong, but they are sure smart. Not wanting to, i put some raw deer meat out on the ground and put up a trail cam and got some pretty nice pics. They are quite the little animal.
