Ya I have heard that coyotes dominate over the fox, and I figured that was the reason for the decline in #'s. Years ago (Before I was Born) my dad said they used to road hunt Fox and it wasn't uncommon to see and shoot at 4 or 5 or more a day. Those days are long gone, but we still do have fox in the area.
I figured maybe I was using the wrong call or something. But I do find it interesting that coyotes are easier to call in than fox. I thought it was the other way around. So now I don't feel so bad. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
When I hear the fox barking it's usually been from the woodline. My take is it's either a fox that doesn't want to commit to the field in fear of coyotes or it seen us. Do grey fox leave the woods very often? Maybe a Grey is what I'm hearing...
