my best advice to you 2coon, would be to geta predator hunting video. when i started coyote hunting really hard about 5 years ago thats what i did and to be able to watch then calling really helped out. as far a calls. there are lots of good calls out there.the rabbit is as someone already mentioned, one of the most popular.the problem is since its so popular, if there is other people hunting them they have already prob/ herd the rabbit and will not come in to yours. lately i have been using a woodpecker in distress and even in really hard hunted areas, it has worked great. if you have any more questiond, just ask... good luck
