Saw the Fox calling post and thought I'd ring in with my 2 cents . I used to hunt foxes very hard with a friend of mine , but now due to work , kids , fur prices , and loss of hunting area we just go out the first night every year .
Last night was the first night here in Ohio and we started at midnight .Due to the late start we only made about 15 stops killing 4 greys ( 2 singles and 1 double ).
I think the most important key to having a good night for greys is to cover alot of ground and make a bunch of calls .
20 5 minute stops will always be better than 5 20 minute calls .After you get used to seeing foxes coming with a red light you can tell if it's a fox , dog , or cat pretty easy so we just shoot them with a dim red light .
After years of shooting and trapping hundreds of foxes the best advise I can give anyone on greys is never take more than 2 from your spots and those spots will produce year after year .
Have fun and be careful
