I know you should change sounds if one doesnt work, What I,m wondering is if you are using a rabbit call and dont get a responce do you wait awhile before going to another sound or do you change and try one after another? Thanks

I know people that fade the sound and wait and offer other confidence sounds that occur in nature, and then begin with a new prey sound.
If that makes you happy, indulge. But, I have seen enough to conclude that it is unnecessary. You can switch sounds suddenly and it is rare that it has a negative effect.
This is one of the great mysteries, why one sound works and another does not. One day, sound A doesn't work, but switching to sound B, works. The next day, sound B doesn't work, but switching to sound A, works.
Back in the old days, we used to light up a bobcat and for whatever reason, would not come in. After spending considerable time, lowering the volume, switching to a different version of prey sounds and still seeing no movement whatsoever, we accidentally hit on a sound that gets almost immediate action, they suddenly make up their mind and come in without caution. This is after plugging in numerous cassettes and the pauses associated with that stuff.
These animals cannot think and use logic. They don't sit out there and wonder why they hear a jackrabbit one minute and the next, there seems to be a woodpecker in distress. Some people behave as though a coyote has a college education, but they just respond to stimulus, like a earthworm, more or less. The one thing you can count on is if a coyote has any doubt whatsoever, he will head downwind and trust what his nose tells him. Of course, there are solutions when they do that.
Anyway, getting off track, but you can be cagey, in how you change your sounds, or just hit a button. Nine times out of ten, it doesn't matter. You still may not get a response, but maybe you will, and who's to say what did it? Maybe they liked the switching, (the combo) and decided to come in? Maybe they didn't like the first sound, but were completely suckered by the second? And, maybe it didn't matter at all, the animal happened to be traveling in to the neighborhood, and only heard the second sound? Now, if you chose to believe that sound B was responsible, you would be mistaken, true? We really don't know, do we?
Good hunting. LB

Agree with LB 100% doesn't matter what sounds you use or change for the most part I don't think it triggers in their brain that the sound is a jack or cotton tail or pygmy or anything else just means an opportunity for an easy meal. If staying in the same area as distress sounds.
