[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 1695108, member: 3755"] I don't think there is any right or wrong way to do it. The last coyote I killed, last weekend, I just decided to play around a little to see what happened. I was in an area with a lot of turkeys so I put the foxpro on the lost hen sound for a while and then switched to some hen yelps, more lost calls and then shut up for a couple minutes. I then turned on the female coyote howls and did some high pitched howls with a small open reed call I have at the same time. Then switched on cottontail distress and left it on till I saw the coyote running in about 5 minutes later. I shut it off as soon as I saw him so he could hear me bark, got the gun ready, barked and shot him. I often change sounds during a series and have never had it effect me badly that I know of. I have had buddies watch a coyote at long distance ignore rabbit and then come running to something different. You just never know what they will come to that day. If I am calling an area I plan to come back to, I will use less sounds so I can try something different the next time and they will not hear everything I have but I am not really sure they remember that much. If it is windy, you can call closer together because they can not hear you as far with all the noise but on a still day they can hear a long ways. I have had good success though calling at one corner of a 1/4 section and moving 1/2 mile and calling again. I have just never found any hard and fast rules.
