Son and I attended a seminar conducted by the 2015 National Coyote Calling Champion. He uses almost 100% coyote vocalizations and seldom any prey calls simply because too many coyotes have been spooked when responding to dying rabbit(or other prey) calls. We use both since much of our hunting ground is private and we're the only hunters and there's always a chance we'll tag a Bobcat coming to the rabbit. Coyote pup in distress works year round.
We're hunting to remove coyotes pure and simple. Yeah, it's fun but the bottom line comes when we tell the landowner how many live coyotes we converted to dead coyotes. If multiples are coming in, we'll wait until we're pretty sure of a double and have a decent chance at any runners that are left. Up to this point this season, we haven't let any called in yoties escape although some took more ammo than anticipated.
Another point: During breeding season(February in the central Midwest) prey calls are nearly useless. Breeding vocalizations are the hot ticket right now.
