calls for this time of year
« on: February 14, 2009, 09:22:40 AM »
 I know this topic gets covered many ways,but I was wondering what most of you like to use this time of year for call sounds?It seams as the season gets later the preference for certain sounds changes.Should we be using more territorial and mating sounds and give up on the food sounds?

i think it all depends on how much pressure your hunting area gets. if you know your hunting areas where other callers are hunting.....you gotta figure the local predators have heard their fill of dyin bunny by this time of year. maybe go to bird sounds instead. i have to experience with the fox vocalizations while calling.
in any case, prey distress sounds work no matter what time of year, change it up an keep it fresh.

 It sure is frustrating when you go into an area with hour old snow and see fresh tracks and leave empty handed.The calls that worked so well early in the season no longer produce.I know for a fact that coyotes will defend their  territories,will a fox do the same thing?If so territorial calls of some type would seem to work the best.Maybe this is just mother natures way of protecting the family groups so we have something to harvest next year.

This is the time of the year when the predators have earned their masters degrees. Very well educated. I learned that last night.

 Deer sounds work for the rut.Turkey sounds work for spring gobbler.Fox sounds should work for mating season.Sounds pretty simple.The trouble is most of the electronic sounds are distress sounds and at least for me the fox sounds are hard to immitate with a mouth call.
