I never did call much, my thing was mostly ambush. I walk a wide circle after a rain and find tracks, either overlapping from more than one day or coming and going and set up there abouts. About half of their wandering seems to be random, just following their nose or ears in search of a meal, the other half is habit. It is their territory and they do form habits.

With the really sneaky ones it turns into a war of wits, they usually win, they have better senses and some are smarter than I am.

After the hunt I let my dog follow some tracks, if you like walking you can likely spot their den. If you hunt one area for years you can spot a lot of dens. Which kind of levels the playing field and tips the balance into your favor.

One trick I did use was to dig some holes (maybe two feet deep) with a post hole digger and toss some offal into the hole. I only used it in places where there was little chance of a Cow or Horse wandering by, a prime spot was an area fenced off to prevent the Deer from eating young trees, fences don't mean much to Yotes or Fox. Baiting for anything is forbidden some places. Shooting a Yote or Fox with it's head in a hole and it's rear end in the air is fairly easy.

If you have any agriculture where you hunt, those big rolls of Hay the dairy farmers leave stacked in a field are a prime spot for Fox or Yotes. They turn into Mouse and Rat hotels, the Fox even den there.
