Caller question

[Kentucky]

Hey guys, just started calling for coyotes. Would y'all suggest short cottontail distress call, with short intervals between, or stay on it for a longer period with longer intervals. Don't know what in the heck I'm doing

Whines, yelps, rabbits in distress; short or long. Some work one day, some work other days. Understanding the seasons, mating/birthing cycles, predator preferences and the like will help you decide on what calls work at what volumes in which places.
Half the fun of calling is the wait ...............

See if this helps:

I have tried running the call constantly as well as in intervals. I've had success both ways and I haven't decided which works best, although I think there isn't necessarily a wrong answer here.

I say play to the situation. If I think the dogs are close I'll do a few short intervals at low volume. If it's windy or if I think the dogs are likely further out I'll go higher volume and longer intervals or even just constant on. I use a variety of distress sounds and coyote vocalizations, really just whatever I'm feelin at the time. What works one day doesn't mean it works every day. Just my $.02 YMMV
