I use lucky bird. Haven't tried the coon call yet, but I don't have a whole lot of luck calling in coons.

The absolutely best coon call plus anything else in the area is a good quality squeaky toy.
A good one that squeaks both ways and is soft because it does get tiring after a while.
This after 35 + years of calling.
A dog toy, kids toy, have to look around to find a good one, the ones with the reeds in it.
Deadly on coons, ringtails, fox, cats etc.
Try it and let me know how it goes. If you have never tried it you WILL be surprised.
When we find a "good one" it becomes guarded like a treasure as they are remarkable.

At the state Park we call them like this.....
"Let's go to bed."
Then, within 15 minutes they have swiped the bacon and eggs out of the cooler and eaten a whole bag of flaming hot cheetoes. But, in non-state parks, a mouse squeak or cottontail call work good. I had one sprint in to a mouse squeak one time and my nephew about whizzed his britches. Good luck.

The last time I called for them we were somewhere in the middle of nowhere by Sweetwater....maybe Tilden. Anyway I was calling and one of my buddies didn't believe you could actually call in raccoons so I said I'd call one up for him to shoot. We sat up next to a tank and it was pitch dark and after about 5 minutes I see his light come on. He has one of those tactical style lights that blinks like a strobe light on one setting and I saw it doing that and thought...."Okay what is he doing?" Wasn't long after that my heart skipped a beat because he has a muzzle brake on his AR-10 and it literally sounded like the earth shook. He got the raccoon but we had a pretty good laugh about the strobe light. He got too excited when he heard something and hit the strobe light like the raccoon was gonna shoot back at us. For all I knew something was about to....I couldn't see anything.
