Today I went down to the lake to see if the ice was thick enough to fish on yet and I noticed a nice pair of fox tracks scurrying about the lake. I have seen this in years past but this year I really want to shoot one. I have coyote hunted several times and have an electonic caller and a hand rabbit sqeauler (sp?). I have alot of scrapes I could bait him with and I have a great spot to hunt him I just was wondering what the best strategy was. Do you call them like coyotes with the sqeauler? Do you bait them with some meat? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, --- buckhunter14

You might just want to get some leftover chicken meat with some fat on it and have it in the open a little because if it's too far out in the open, the starlings and other critters will eat it. I would also probably call with the rabbit squealer and wait in the day time because I don't think foxes are active at night. Just try it out and see what happens.

"I don't think foxes are active at night"?? this is when they are active!

Foxes are deffinately nocturnal... I seen one tonight but he was much to far for my shot...

We through food scraps out at our house at night and almost every night we see a fox come and eat them... They are ussually only visible in the early am... At least that has been my experience.

I was working at the local nuclear plant this year and there was a pack of foxes....at least 6. They were in the parking lots every morning and would come right up within 5-6 feet if you called them. I found they love Hardees chicken biscuits, but would only pee on a stick of gum if you offered it.

Well, I won't be putting out ANY gum! But I'm gong to make a run to Hardee's
