I am just getting into hunting predators in Virginia and I am looking for information to help me hunt them. I mainly hunt from central Va (Chesterfield, Powhatan, Prince George) to as far east as the eastern shore and I am curious as to what other hunters in Va are doing and using to make them successful. I am an avid spring turkey hunter so I plan on doing what I can to help reduce the predator population to benefit the turkey population.
Any way, what types of calls are you using? If you use electronic callers what calls work best for foxes, bobcats or coyotes? When have you been the most successful - morning, afternoon or midday? Are you more successful along fields and pastures or in the woods or cutovers?
I have been reading many posts since finding PM a few weeks ago and I have learned a lot. What I have not been able to do is find out what works here in Va. I have a .243 I plan on using in counties where I can use a rifle and my 12 ga in counties that do not allow rifles.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. I know that there is not one single call, time or place to hunt that will work for everyone but I am curious as to what hunters are doing in the eastern part of the state. Thanks.
