Bill, for years I've been using Scenery calls, the Snowshoe rabbit one. I've tried dozens. The sound is halfway between cottontail and jack rabbit is how I'd describe it. I've called probably 300 coyotes with it and 4 lynx now. The first one I didn't have a camera, the pair a couple weeks ago stayed out 40m and in light brush and the fourth I saw his tracks afterwards. The bobcat hunters in the states use more higher pitch sounds like cottontail, woodpecker distress, etc. Also the consensus is call constantly for an hour at least. Cats get bored easily it seems. This is hard to do with a mouth blown call. The FoxPro I got is great and because cats are more sight dependent the call placed a distance from you keeps the cat from focusing on you. I'm still playing with it and will be out this weekend.
