Hunting bobcats and foxes
 
I got a question for anyone willing to answer i got a piece of land roughly 3,000 acres(Sussex, Virignia) with short pine thickets, few cutovers bout waist high, and hardwoods with a swampy bottom. What have yall had the most luck with when hunting bobcats and foxes thickets, hardwoods, cutovers . We've seen 2 bobcats and 3 foxes on the cutovers so far just wonderin if it was a stroke of luck to see all these in one afternoon or its just where they like to hang out. We have a few rabbits and turkeys but bunches of squirrels. And what technique seems to be the most useful when hunting these animals and time of day.

Surthern buck if you are interested in doing some fox hunting I'm willing to show you the ropes. I have a caller and a light to hunt them at night. I live in Hanover county and have done some hunting in Sussex in the past. It is a great time if you have never been before. Send me an email [email protected].

In the UK we use a lot of lamping for red foxes with rifles and shotguns (.22/250, .234, .22 hornet etc and 12 bore) but i dont know what the law for lamping is in the US. just a suggestion (you'll need two people) but if you kill a rabbit tie a bit of string to its back legs cut it open and lay it out from a hide you've made. then sit down and wait with the string tied to the wrist of the lamper and when something pulls on it flick the lamp on and shoot it with a shotgun. calling works with this.
