You might want to try a cottontail distress call. A taped recording is preferred since you do not want the target to home in directly to you. Set your tape player about 40 yards down-wind from your position. It is preferred if the wind is cross to your position.

If I remember correctly the lion attacks only from upwind, so you're in it's path when it stalks, not charges.

Just a thought.

Coyotes and bobcats can be the same way. Most coyotes will charge straight to the sound while in pairs they may circle around. The bobcats will do a slow stalk. Either way, being cross wind helps and the sound carries with the wind for planning a call to cover more distance. If they wind is right, I like to have the sound carrying out over an open feild with brush/trees as the backdrop, wind at your back or off the side.
