Default RE: help! - first fox hunt tonight

Well, maybe this is why I haven't seen anything lately. I just found out that I should call into the wind, not with it. I thought that since predators often slip around down wind, you should call that direction. The thing is, if your back is to down wind, then I don't see how you can see anything behind you or even shoot if something moves back there. Now if I put an open field to my back down wind, then maybe fox won't be so willing to expose themselves to get downwind. Why then would a fox come in if they can't scent you? It seems as if your damned if you do and damned if you don't. I'm going back out tonight. The moonlight is killing me though since it seems to render my red light almost worthless yet the moon light is not bright enough to see things. I guess if it was an easier matter there would be nothing to call in a very short period of time.
