Hello-

I got a farm in PA loaded with foxes and a couple bobcats and would like to try some night predator hunting. I got an electronic call, spotlight and a light designed to be attached to a gun.

The farm is 225 acres, half cut corn and soybeans and half woods.

My questions...

1. When you are hunting at night, do you always setup on the edge of a field? What about in a clearing in the woods itself? Would be noisy getting in to the spot.

2. Do predators usually approach from the woods in this situation? Wondering if i need to play the wind always with the idea they will be approaching from the woods.

3. Gun- I own a 7mm-08, 30-06, .22 and 12/20 gauge shotguns. I shoot best with the 7mm-08. I imagine it is way to much gun for predators but would be nice to use it for my first few times out since I shoot best with it. What about the shotguns? Im thinking open fields would limit my ability to use it. Will have two guys, so maybe bring both?

4. Any tips for someone new that would be helpful? Thanks.

5. Do you go full volume on the call the whole time? its a cheap call, not a foxpro.
