Went out two nights this weekend. Heard plenty of coyotes, but could not call them in. I did witness a few firsts though.
The first stand Saturday night. I went out to a local farm hoping that they had cut the corn, but they had not. Well, I still wanted to try so I got set up on a short road that cuts through some pines between the corn fields. Just a few seconds into a rabbit call I had a medium size fox come right to the call. I see this fox just about every time I hunt this place and he is not scared of me. I messed with him for a few minutes then I heard something behind me so I turned around and there was another fox about ten yards from me. This one was a lot bigger and finally seen me so it jumped into the corn. It then worked it's way through the pines to the call. So I play with the these two foxes for a while then I figured I better try some coyote vocals. Usually foxes take off when I switch to vocals and the larger one did. The smaller one went crazy. It would run right up to the call then run off into the pines and circle over and over. This fox came within a few feet of me SEVERAL times. After about 45mins I got tired and packed up and left.
Sunday night I was towards the end of the set on another farm so I played a pup distress. About two minutes into the call a small bob cat stalked right up to the call 2 times and just sat a few feet from the call looking at it. After a few minutes it took off back into the woods. First time I ever had a cat come to a pup distress and our area is loaded with cats.
