Busted....The bark of the gray fox and or the red fox
« on: March 01, 2016, 12:02:03 AM »
Your calling and all of a sudden you hear a low pitch bark... That be a gray fox... If the pitch is high... That be a red fox.. Now they don't sound like a domestic dogs bark... However when you hear that bark on a distant hill or in a woodlot above you... You probably just got busted.. The fox came in and saw you and you didn't see him... So they go to a high point and bark...  Stand over... there has been only two time in my 30 years of predator hunting that I switched to other canine sounds and the fox came in again and I shot them.. Other times I got busted. oh maybe about 150 times in those  30 years...

I have also had luck with answering back..bark/scream or howl..haven't relied on it enough to decide on its effectiveness 100% but know it has worked a few times for me.
