We have fun talking about different techniques. I never got the rabbit pee on anything.
What some of you folks don't realize is that animals may circle down wind as far out as 400 yards and beyond. They do infact like to run with their nose into the wind as they become older and wiser, just another tool that they have working for them. Young dump ones will do just about anything.
The whole idea of shooting the coyote before he gets down wind works when you can see a long ways, but what about the guys that are hunting in areas where 125 yard shot is a long shot, they get busted often and never even know that a coyote has been in the area.
We learned a lot about hunting coyotes when hunting in Mexico where a team of guys could harvest hundreds of animals in a years time, depending on how often and the duration of the trips.
When you are night hunting out of your truck in areas with high population densities, it is a completely different set of rules compared to a guy that gets out and walks out into the bush making a stand off the ground.
When we were discussing Misting, we were mainly discussing the effect on coyotes. Foxes are another story altogether. When you run up on a family of foxes and you are misting, it is likely that you will kill the entire family unit...they have the attention span of a knat. You shoot one, they leave and come back, you shoot another, they dance around, and come on in. I can remember many stands that we shot 3 foxes on, and one where we got 6.
When guys live in areas where the populations are high combined with the ability to see for longer distances, they do not have to put out the effort that a guy that hunts in the thick has to.
Guys that hunt in areas where the populations are low to moderate, have to pull out all the bag of tricks to get the success in a years time that a guy that hunts for a month in an area with a high population that does not do anything extra other than get his gun, cammo, ammo, and calls.
