These things make a living staying alive and as others have said, smart to start with and quick to learn. Any of your rifles will work. I'd pick the one you like and roll with it. I've called in a bunch and all of my shots have been under 100 yards except one. That lone exception hung up across a meadow from me at about 250 yards. The last mistake she made that day was thinking I couldn't shoot that far. I call from the ground so I always tote my shotgun along with my rifle. You really need to control your scent. I've used Dead Down Wind products for years with great success. Make sure you wash your hunting clothes, all of it, socks, underwear, hats, etc. in a detergent intended for hunting. In addition to being scent free those won't contain any UV brighteners. Be very mindful of the what the wind is doing. Foxpro makes great calls so get proficient with it and the remote. Keep in mind that the call will be pointed away from you and some distance from you as well. If you crank the volume up to where you can hear it, it might be unrealistically loud. Find realistic volumes then trust the volume number on the remote. Decoys work. The one I've used the most is one I made out of an old carbon arrow shaft with a piece of bailing wire through the nock as an outrigger. Off of that wire, I tie in a turkey tail feather so it hangs down about 4 inches. I stick the arrow in the ground next to the caller. The feather is easy to see, reacts to the slightest breeze, provides motion that works in conjunction with the sound from the caller. It also makes the caller easy to find when I'm ready to move to a new location. When you change locations, do so quietly. There might be a coyote laying in the sun on the backside of the hill right in front of you...
Good luck! Coyote hunting can be addictive. Ask me how I know...
