Have you heard of anybody lying a dead rabbit out to bring them to the area?

I have hunted over carcasses like cow and horses and deer. Just a rabbit they would haul off at their convieniece. Takes something bigger to keep them around and it helps if your scent isnt around it.

Notice how there is no bare skin visible when I call.
This is important in Tx, colorado, nevada or any where. This is a texas yote the other three were colo.

What areas are you looking for when you call? Like the surroundings, do you prefer calling in an open burn with trees surrounding you, or do you call in flat shrub land, or in light forested spots like your TX pic?

If you can hunt over open feilds or sage/ scrub in the mornings while they are most active it usually works. The Texas pic was later in the day and I was trying to call them out of the creek bottoms
Same concept for hunting badlands. Pick a spot where you cam call em out to you.

How long do you call for? And how long do you stay at a spot?

That is a good question and in a group of predator hunters the answer would likely vary. If the spot is conducive to pass shooting and I got there in "prime time" I may sit and glass a while before ever turning on the call. If there is a possibility of bobcats I will call longer, as they are slower to work their way in. If I am night calling I tend to make thirty to forty five minute stands and move on. If you have a lot of ground available you don't have to work a spot so long. Texas is almost all private land and the size of the ranches in the east is getting smaller so I am less apt to quit a spot hastily. When I hunt out west where land is measured in sections or coloraddo and wyoming where large tracts of public land are available I like to cover more ground so make shorter sets.
I have heard it said that if they are coming they will appear in fifteen minutes or less. I think there is a general truth to this but have seen enough exceptions to justify more time.
