Smokindiesel, how often do you go out for fox/coyote? Alot of success?

I’ve been outa few times last year and many years ago and only called in 3 fox and shot 1 of them. Long range shot with 20 ga buckshot missed one of the other 2. Last one we should have shot at but didnt. It was within range with a 22 lr but just out of my comfort zone with my 3 1/2" #4 buck 12 gauge

The one i got was a small fox at about 35-40 yards with my 12 gauge buck loads. it patterns nicely up to about 40-45 yards. 50 becomes a stretch real quick

I go out as often as I can … Success depends on your skill and time of year. You basically have to be like a sniper at times … Your hunting the hunters on THERE ground … There incredably smart.

I do most of my hunting with my Rem. Model 700 Camo .223 w/ Nikon 3-9 with a Scope Light, and I use a light on my hat for scanning eyes, scope light for shot only.

I will use a shotgun as well in some of my spots, depending how tight it is, and what the wind is doing that day. 12 Gauge w/ Hevi Shot Dead Coyote & Dead Coyote Choke is deadly at 50-60 yards.

I do most of my hunting at night … but will hunt in evenings JUST before dark as well. I call with a FoxPro FX3 caller, plus I use hand calls. Last time I was out was the night before Thanksgiving and I called in two grey fox between 8:00-8:30pm (First came in the first 6 minutes of calling, second came in after 15 minutes and hung up 250+ yards)

If you’d like to hook up and hunt sometime let me know …
