Well, since I was drawn for a cat tag this year  that takes charge over all else... then as time permits I will be going after grey fox and coyotes... and then reds.... I hope to have a really good year but time will tell....

I just hope to kill anything with four legs and a bushy tail.  Hell I'll be happy to kill a deer this year with my stick(carbon) and string(compound) and not the one hanging between my wifes.  Well you get the picture.

I am after whatever I can get, Red / Grey / Yote. After I hit a coyote last year with my flintlock, and could not find it I am excited about this season.

I call for fox first with food distress sound for 20-25 minutes and before I depart I might go into coyote vocalization (Coyote calling mode)  for another 25minutes if I think coyotes might be in the area....
My reason  for using food sounds first is that every predator in Pa just may come to call..  You start going straight to Grey Fox pup you kind of limit your target animals...However I have had large reds come in for a quick look see but they tend to stay out of shotgun range... Also many a time getting busted by coyotes because I was hunting Grey Fox and was position near the speaker...

Fox takes priority.It use to be heavy on the grays light on the reds with a little bit of coyote hunting ,but times have changed,not many greys around in my area so now its heavy on the reds.I'm not exactly sure what happened to all the greys but they do seem to be making somewhat of a comback.I miss the days of high grey fox numbers.Is anyone else in the state seeing good grey numbers?
