Calling Sequences

I know that this has been asked many, many times but here we go again. I learned how to use the FoxCast on my Fusion and it's pretty darn cool. So now I'm looking to make up as many sequences as I need.

I'm in northeast PA. What are some sequences that you might put together for yourself for coyote, fox, and/or bobcat?

Plus, what different ones would you put together for different times of the year?
 
Foxcast is a nice feature, but for myself, I don't use it. But, if I'm using an E-caller, for coyotes; I try and stay with similar sounds. For example, as of now, I start with distress sounds. Start with "snowshoe hare" for about 3-5 min, pause for about 30 seconds, then switch to "eastern cottontail", same time frame, if nothing popping, I'll go to rodent distress or vole squeaks. Usually only 3 sequences and I'm off to the next stand. Mostly I overcall the sounds with hand calls. But that's just me. As of this time of year, I don't use any vocals, and never use male challenge howls, again, just me. Cats, I stick with hand calls or distress bird and rodent sounds. I believe that you have both red and grey fox, including Fishers, all that would come to a call. Greys, well there just about as smart as a kit fox. Any rabbit distress should bring them in. Reds, they are sketchy by nature. Basically there are no set sequences as what works for one person or one day, may not work for the next. Biggest problem I see, is calling to long on a stand, if nothing has showed in the first 20 min or so, move on. Cats, expect slightly longer stands, along with reds. Best to hit the field, I recommend sticking to similar sounds. If distress, stick with distress, if vocals, same. I use sounds of animals we don't have here out west. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck, Drop
 
I'll give my most recent successful stand secrets but I change things up pretty regularly. For calling coyotes this time of year I stick to distress sounds mostly. I start off the stand lately by playing Rabbit or Grey fox distress on the FoxPro for 2-3 minutes, then 20-30 seconds of silence. Then call again for 1-2 minutes and another 20-30 seconds of silence. Repeat again. At about the 10 minute mark if nothings coming in, I'll switch to coyote pup screams or pup distress.

I only stay on a stand up to about 20 minutes if nothings coming in, I know I should stay longer some places. I also will shorten the call time and use more silence the longer I sit. So at the 15-20 minute mark I'm only calling for 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds of silence.

Good luck, just gotta get out there and practice and see what works in your area. I've found that lots of people play the rabbit distress where I hunt so I've been having much better luck lately with pup screams or the fox distress. I'll mix in a couple bird distress calls occasionally too.

I believe that I downloaded 8 or 10 "free" FoxCast Sequences off the FoxPro website -- tweaked them a litte, as I recall, but it sure was lots easier than starting from scratch.

Check it out -- you might be pleasantly surprised.

What ^ he said!

I'm still learning a lot about this type of hunting. I have an idea of a story telling but would like to understand what exactly you are talking about. I'm thinking, a rabbit call, then maybe a bark, rabbit distress then a howl but don't know if that is what you are talking about. I like the idea of telling a story but usually the stories i tell suck. Thanks for your help
 
i tell the story of a rabbit making all kinds of distress sounds. usually its a jackrabbit. i do that for around 15 minutes at a whole bunch of different places during a day of calling.

Every time you type something I feel a little smarter.
