Bud, it's been years since I used a rabbit squeal to hunt coyotes, bob cats. Best I remember....try to imitate the cries of a baby......worked for us. I'm sure someone will have a better idea!!!! Good luck!

Just start out calling softly, just to see if anything is close...
if nothing shows up in a couple minutes just start blowing like crazy.. pretend someone is hitting you ove the head with a 2X4... blow for a couple mins, wait a couple, then do it again. With time you will find what works. You can also pick up a dvd on coyote calling.. i like the Primos truth ones, it will give you a good idea what they sound like.

Do a google search for varmint Al. He has the sounds of various calls there. I think the URL will work.

Hi Minihuntur, I moved your thread down here to the varminting forum.
When I use a a cottontail screamer I imagine myself caught in the clutches of an Obama presidency and its choking the life outta me. Wait, I'm sorry that might be reality. What I really meant is imagine yourself being eaten by a predator and how that might make you scream for your life. Then let the sounds die down like its your last breath for a bit and go at it full blast again. Here are some links from www.varmintal.com: http://www.varmintal.com/weems.mp3 http://www.varmintal.com/weems2.mp3 http://www.varmintal.com/weems2.mp3 http://www.varmintal.com/coy5-20.htm

For your practice enjoyment see if blue jays come in to your calls. If they come and check it out you are on the right track.
