RE: help! - first fox hunt tonight
Thanks for the tips. I have 9 stands set up for the morning. We are starting at 2:30 AM. I have a few more farms to locate more stands so I hope we get something. I bought a hat light called the mighty max. It sure doesn't seem bright enough with the amber lens on. I also bought a light that fits on the shotgun. I sure hope this works.
As for my first stand, I didn't think the fox would come across the open field. If they won't come across the open field then I wonder why did I see the one in the field this morning? Who knows. So from your experience you think that most times the fox will circle downwind from where we are calling? If I am calling with a large open field to my back and the all of the cover is in front of me, won't the fox want to sneak up through the cover instead of exposing itself? This is a different stand tonight where there is a medium sized trash pile located 30 yards from an marshy overgown fild with with a small woods in dispersed beyond the field. The wind is blowing from the woods, across the marshy, overgrown field to the trash pile in the open field. Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just nervous and excited about tonight. I'm afraid that I will blow this opportunity. LOL
