Has anyone had any luck hunting mid-day?

After it starts getting colder out would it be a waste of time calling coyotes or foxs after lunch time?
Addicted to fur for sure

When it gets real cold things can change alot.  Foxes hunt first light and right before dark alot more and day time more. They even lay out in the sun alot when it is cold. But 32° is not cold to them. I think when it gets real bad out they go down holes were it is warmer at night.
It all depends on what you are thinking cold is. Coyotes your guess is as good as mine. But they shoot alot in real cold wheather in the day time. What they do at night is any ones guess. But I have seen and killed them is some real cold weather at night.
I would hunt after lunch in the winter if I were you and you know were some are hanging out.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

Im a firm believer in getting out to hunt whenever. Daytime or night. I have called and killed both red and grey in the daytime. Sat while bow hunting i had two separate reds come past around 5:30 in the afternoon.

Heres a grey coming to the call as well. Daytime
