RE: How to hunt thick forest and brush???
You might slow down your calling some. If you are using coyote vocalizations, do so for only a few seconds, then wait for 10-15 minutes before doing it again.
With distress calls, I usually call a few seconds, then wait about 5 minutes or so before calling again.
Keep in mind that if you use coyote vocalizations, bobcats, foxes, and other predators won't show because they could be on the menu as well.
If you have an electronic call, set it up crosswind in an opening. Let the predators approach downwind of the call, not downwind of you. A decoy would also help.
Be mindful of your silhouette. Being fully camoed isn't your main goal. Breaking up your outline is. If you can, cut some pieces of brush or whatever and place it around you to break up your outline. Wait about five minutes or so after you sit down before you start calling.
In hunting areas like this, your sounds won't travel nearly as far as they do in open country. You might only move a few hundred yards in between each set. You need to make more sets in a given area than you would in open country.
