I use a dying snowshoe hare call, volume depending on wind. Equally good on Lynx, yotes & Wolves.

I use a mouth call.

Blast it out at first. (Attacked)
Then gradually lower volumn each time.

Make it sound like it's being tortured
and suffering light cries in between
louder screams like it's being chewed on
sporatically.

I was told by a guy that had been doing it for
years I'd never call one in like that. too loud:

Fellow that had been out with me the day before
told him: "hell too, he called 5/5 and we shot
three"

Had a couple guys listen from a distance and
said they almost cried it sounded so painful.

Thanks Gents!

For cats, I use an e-call with a woodpecker/bird in distress, and let it run the entire stand, usually at least 30 minutes, sometimes an hour.

For coyotes, I like mouth calls, and call for about 20 seconds, than stay quiet and watch for about 3-5 minutes. Repeat 2-4 times.

Cats seem to like a higher pitched sound, and they appear to need constant stimulation to bring them in from a ways out there.

I start with a mouth call and give it half a dozen blows, then turn on the cassette, use a red light Q Beam as a white light scares off coyotes in many instances...works with fox, badgers, coyotes bobcats and on two occasions in my lifetime I called up a Mt. Lion, but at a distance and lost both without firing a shot..Be aware that you will probably call up some deer, so don't identify by eyes, might even be a Illegal traveling to the promised land for a job, where I hunt so take care.

I like a half grown rabbit, a woodpecker, baby kittens mewing, a grown rabbit, a kildee, where I call, but calls should match the local animals that the local preditors feed on..
