What distress sound have you had the best responce with during night excursions... and do you use any type of decoys...?

I use this http://www.woodswise.com/details.php?pid=ww087and this http://www.woodswise.com/details.php?pid=ww088. All I do is night hunt. This area isnt really made for day calling.
As far as decoy, I would think it would be pointless but I may be wrong. I did knowa guy that would find and kill a rabbit then cut into it and everywhere they walked where they would hunt they dragged it with a string on his leg. It REALLY helped.

I don't see how it could hurt. You'd just have to keep an eye on the way you got to a set, just incase. Night calling can be a big difference from day, or low light calling. The coyotes seem to circle more at night, but the fox can come into your lap.

Sure right, yodel.
Every yote we have called has been circling around the edge of the field or we seen him and lost himin some vegetation or kept calling and he got clear. Yotes are real wery at night.
Along with a fox, a bobcat will come straight in.

The only reason that I posted this question is this... When your fishing at night I was told always to use dark colors...... and being a recovering waterfowl addict... I thought that I would try my goose flag on predators... Let me tell you they still see it at night.... It stops that circling down wind thing... they come on a string... I was trying to simulate a Owl getting a rabbit or whatever.... and Man it works...

Give it a try...
