Fox pro HELP!!

I will often start a set with some interrogation or greeting howls. About two or three spaced over a five minute span. I will then usually go with some sort of distress, like rabbit, fawn, or pup. Keep at it, it can be frustrating but its all worth it when it comes together

I do the opposite.... We start with the rabbit for a couple minutes and then change to a howls to make it seem like the rabbit has been found and there's a party going on... We tried this the other weekend and the dogs were running in like "scalded cats".
Just another idea... doesn't make it right... just something different.
I don't think I've done the same thing twice in any of my sets. Important things to remember are:
-Walk in quiet. Don't walk across the middle of a field, use field edges or tree lines to get to where you need to be.
-Set your call a good distance up wind.
-Use a decoy to give the dogs something to look at.
-Start your distress calls at a lower volume in case a yote' is close by, you don't want to blow him outta' the county.
-The FoxPro is awesome but keep a mouth call handy.
-Be ready to shoot, when your busted it's over. Coyotes won't give you a second chance.
-Use binoculars. I've had coyotes hold up on a field edge or tree line and they can be difficult to see.
-If the coyote is in visual distance and still coming in, let him come. No calling required unless it gets distracted along the way.
-Many times a coyote will zigzag across the prevailing wind, using its nose aswell as ears to locate prey.
My sucessfull hunts have always been group hunts. Couple guys watching where you expect them to come from, and one guy watching the downwind side.
