Two more down!

[Grayfox]

Mitch and I went out agian tonight to try for a couple more before we lose the moon and were able to connect.

1st set: We set up on a North/South tree line with a picked cornfield to the West and an abandoned farm to the East. Wind was out of the West. Put the decoy and call 30 yards West of us and started the call. Mitch was a on my left and facing South. 10 minutes in I see her standing 110 yards out. She starts to walk and I get into position and when she stops I let the 17 Rem bark and she hits the deck. Mitch saw it but was afraid to move. I told him that as soon as they start to walk, get your gun into position and take the first shot you get. You never know if they're going to bolt. Heavy coat on her. One of the nicer ones we've taken. Here's the entry and drop on the spot picture too.

2nd set: We just set up and just started the call when a red

fox busts out of the cover right in front of us. It came out,stopped for a second(Mitch has a small game licence but I didn't so I didn't take a shot)Mit was just about to squeeze the trigger and it takes off across the field and never slowed for a shot.

3rd set: We went to another one of our better properties and set up on the North side of a machine shed overlooking a picked cornfield. Put the caller and decoy 50 yards to the NW with a NW wind. Played distress for 30 minutes on and off with no responses or sightings. Did a couple female howls and sat for 10 minutes when I see one come out of the woods to the East. I let Mitch know he's there and when it stops agian I take the shot. It runs another 100 yards and stops and I put her down for good this time. The first shot was a little low and back. Mitch was a little slow on the trigger tonight or maybe he was just being kind to the old man. He'll get his shots in yet even if it has to wait till the next moon.

Tried 2 more spots and saw nothing as the clouds rolled in and the wind really picked up, so it was off to McDonalds for some warm breakfast and some hot chocolate.

Good luck to everyone else out there.

Looks like your thinning out the coyote population.

When other guys that post on here say that they go to an area and "howl", are they using a call of some sort or just using their voice? And second, what kind of calls do you, Grayfox use? It seems you have pretty good success with what you're doing.

for howling there are calls out there, it can be difficult starting off, but if you download howling mp3 from google and listen to the cd in your vehicle, you can practice to and from work/school; thats what i have been doing lately with my diaghram call made from primos. as for grayfox calls, i'll let those guys chime in good luck

MNhusker, I use a Foxpro caller and do have a few howls on it that I use but also use a hand howler by Tony Tebbe. I use everything from cat distress to fawn distress. They will all work under different circumstances.
