So I'm pretty new to predator hunting. I've shot coyotes while deer hunting before, but never over a call at night. My grandfather gave me his fox pro, but I have no idea what call to use. I want to use cotton tail in distress or jack rabbit in distress, but I have never seen any of them at my friends property! What calls would y'all recommend? Also, I know to always play the wind, but what other tips might y'all have for hunting at night? Thanks for the help! He has 2 black coyotes out there on trail camera, so maybe I can get lucky with a black ghost! I appreciate it!

Big fan of the cottontail is distress or pup in distress call to start. Lots of good info on youtube as well! Good luck!

I have had good luck with lightning jack I believe it is. Woodpecker in distress is supposed to be good for cats, but no luck with it so far.

Wind is everything set up with the wind in your face or at a cross. Watch them because they will try to circle down wind and bust you.Cotton tail or Jack rabbit are good but when those two don't produce results try house cat. I don't know why, I'm guessing house cat tastes good to a coyote. call for 15-20 minutes and then change locations, at least a mile away. If it's bob cats you're after stay long, a lot longer those guys are slow to come. After your shot keep calling for a while or even switch to coyote in distress, sometimes there is another one lurking nearby. Good luck and good

I've seen bobcats take 30+ minutes to slowly walk in, and I've had them charge the call in less than 2 minutes. That all using variants of rabbit in distress. Think about the area you're calling, cats like to stalk through areas where they have a bit more cover. Coyotes aren't afraid to run across an opening. When hunting if you have a critter hang up a few hundred yards out it's good thing to either kill the call or switch to a different call to see if you can pique their interest. Good luck shooting.

I have written many articles on calling predators, especially coyotes and bobcats and have made eight different "how to" videos and DVD's as well as 8 years of CARNIVORE. The greatest innovation in calling predators in over 50 years is mentioned in "Article in TTHA Magazine" on this forum. Adios, Gary
