Desert Hunter

Wildlife Tech's 100 recordings that I reviewed are generally high quality recordings. Some of the loops are short, but there are eleven(?) good WT rabbits, and that makes up for a lot.  If you have an ear for sounds, you may hear WT recordings in some movies.

The WT sound list included 9 highly rated rabbits, 3 good foxes, and 2 excellent coaxers. 

Top honors go to WT's young jackrabbit, a 50 second WIM (Woe Is Me!) loop, a cottontail juvenile, and the "MouseD" coaxer.

This caller is for sale. $1200 with 115 sound files. MAKE OFFER.

WT also has some high-quality coyote recordings.  Among the best yips, whines, and pup distress, 6 were highly rated and 4 more have good hunting utility.  These coyotes were recorded in Newfoundland from large animals with wolf genes. The adult sounds have limited utility in the West where the average coyote is ~18 pounds.  They may work in the East.  Here in the West, they generally do not work except for the very occasional territorial response from an aggressive animal in the middle of its home territory.  Best advice - Stick with the distress calls west of the Mississippi.

WT had no winner in the Bird Distress category.  There were no screaming bird standouts. The magpie sound calls magpies. The woodpecker sound will work with a decoy. Only one bird qualified as good, a 27 s loop, the file named "Pileate."  The rest were generally ambient sounds, though the Wren, Mockingbird, and Bluebird might be raucous enough for hunting.

"MouseD" is very high-pitched and is partially out of hearing range.  It offers some relief to tired ears during a long night of hunting.  It's almost like hunting in silence.
