Get a wireless "remote" electronic caller. You can get a lot of sounds on line and put them into your caller. Just about anything "in distress" that gives you goose bumbs will work. Rabbit, fawn and birds are my personal favorites. Get a decoy that has movement and is quiet. Place the caller and decoy 30 to 40 yards away. When they come in all their attention will be on the sound and the decoy instead of you. PLAY THE WIND!!!! CAMO...CAMO...CAMO!! Unless you are a GREAT shot, use shooting sticks with a rifle. I even use them with a shotgun so I can keep the gun up at all times. Lifting a gun from your lap will cost you a lot of coyotes. The most important thing to me is the set-up. I spend more time in a new location determining a stratigic set-up than anything else. Make it easy for them to hear the sound, come in easily andsee the decoy easily.

when using an electronic caller, make sure you switch up the calls a bunch, cause otherwise they will soon figure out, cause it is always the same pitch, also when you are close to cover, start the call off quiet, you dont want to scare anything

Sound choice isnt nearly as important as set-up, camo, movement, wind, scent, etc. You make the crying blues of any animal, and the coyotes are hungry, they will come.

Rabbit distress calls work very well. Also, If you are serious about it then you could shell out some money for a electronic caller or else take some time to learn some open-reed calls.
