coyote call
Nocturnal hunting vocalization
A coyote call is a device hunters use to mimic coyote vocalizations—howls, yips, and distress sounds—to lure the animals within shooting range.
Calls range from mouth-blown reed instruments to electronic devices with recorded sounds.
The term also refers to the vocalizations themselves: We heard coyote calls echoing across the canyon at dusk.
