 For fox with the e caller I start off playing a mouse, bird, or rabbit for about 10m low at first and increase volume. Then into GFP for another 10m. Their is alot more greys then reds here.

I usually do the same for coyotes cause 1 their is not that many around my area where I hunt. If I go just for coyotes I like to know where they are. Then go in with a distress sound that people will overlook. Nothing fancy here.

Boro Pup,For mouth calls start out with coaxer calls or squeaks with a bulb squeaker and then follow up with rabbit distress.Don't use a real coarse sounding call that may sound like a threat to a fox as that is a big no no in my book.Get out there and give it your best effort you might be surprised what works.One way to figure out what works is if you call one in and he hangs up out of range this isn't all bad.Start using some different calls and see how they respond,if they hang around and seem interested it is a call worth trying at another spot.If they suddenly disappear that particular call goes in a shoe box and put on the shelf.Good Luck!

I start out with low volume rabbit distress or low volume pup distress.  Usually play it for under two minutes at first.  I then play the same volume for about 5 minutes.  If no response I will jack the volume up for 30 seconds or so then curt it back to the previouse low volume.  I usually only stay on stand for 20 minutes. 

If a critter responds and closes in on the call, I just let it play.  Once they hang up, I will play around with volume level fluxuations.
When using bird sounds, I play at 3/4 volume for about 30 seconds, then cut way down on volume.

Also, I use a rabbit style exe decoy on daylight sets.  Place it and e call together.
