it was the first chance to run him since the season opened. got out late in the afternoon and worked some crop fields hoping to run a deer coming out to feed. that spot was a bust so as it was getting dark we headed over to a spot some of my Marines claimed they had seen hog sign. no hog sign so i decided to try calling for coyote for Sonic to run. we were on a forest service road on the south edge of a coastal pine savannah. i am using a turkey diaphragm call to sound like a fox getting his butt handed to him (coyote go out of their way to kill fox in their territory). we move up the road a bit every so often calling & sweeping the light looking for incoming coyotes or any coons that happen to be out. well i'm calling ringing the dinner bell and i see something in the road that doesn't look quite right. i put the light on it & it is a large FRESH pile of BEAR POOP. as i only have a knife on me i decide that i had better shut the heck up.
hopefully we can get out again tonight. |

Cool story....
Using a Turkey diaphram call to sound like a fox? THATS a interesting skill. What brand/model of call are you using to do that?

HS Strut but any brand should work. i bought a 3 pack and though each is a little different you can make the same basic sound w/all. instead of holding it correctly you slant the open end down about 30 degrees. if you know what a fox sounds like getting chewed on you can play w/ them & figure out the sound. it's spotty at first but once you get it it's easy just like using them for turkey. |

Well, then, sounds like you need a video camera!

Ok... That makes sense. Even being sans dead turkey the last two years, I and cutt, purr and yelp very well on a diaphram call. You just gave me something new to try! LOL
