I actually use both, depending on the situation.

Stand set up is different with an e-caller than a mouth blown call, but both will get responses from predators.

In brushy country where a fox or coyote can circle downwind without being seen, I like an e-caller to get the sound away from me. That way, I can set up to get a shot at it when it circles. And here, heavily hunted coyotes will nearly always circle downwind. Heck, my airedales circle downwind to catch the scent of a coyote in the brush and find it easier.

In more open country, I use hand calls and leave an open area to the downwind side where I can see.

I'm pretty good with hand calls; better than most I've called with in my lifetime. But either call seems to get equal results, especially in the early season.

Later, when every coyote in the country could likely play back most popular sounds stored on e-callers, they don't pay as much attention to them. It pays to get creative at times.
