Here is how some of my set ups go:
-first 5-8 minutes of rabbit distress, then go to a fox distress for 2 or 3 minutes and switch back to the rabbit distress. I usually change it back to a rabbit distress once after the fox distress. If anyone has a TX-200 remote, I usually start my volume around 24-26 for about the first minute or two to get the sound out there. In the summer time now it may not sound very loud, but on those cool calm fall and winter nights, sound will carry a good ways. I usually then turn the volume back down to 18-20 for the duration of the stand. I may turn it up to 22-24 if I feel the need to.
I usually stay on stand for about 15-20 minutes. Some of my stands I may start out with a rabbit distress for the first 8-10 minutes and then the last 10 minutes I switch to a bird distress or something else. Like I described above, I will usually start out my stands medium to loud. If you think about it, a real rabbit or bird in distress is pretty loud in the wild. Here's how I see it: If a 6'4 300lb guy comes up behind you and jumps on your back with a knife to your throat; are you politely going to ask him to remove himself? Heck no! Same goes for the animal kingdom.
Wow, just thinking/typing about it is giving me the fever for October to get here!!!
