An Arizona Desert Predator Calling Double – Bobcat and Fox
Dave Martens of Wildlife Callers was calling for mountain lions in central Arizona and takes a bobcat-fox double!
Dave Martens of Wildlife Callers AZ Bobcat & Fox Double!
Dave set out for a day of calling mountain lion in his scouted areas. It turned out to be an amazing day in the field, despite not seeing any lions. Dave called six grey fox on one stand and several more throughout the day. On one of his stands, he called this bobcat and grey fox combo and decided to take them. Because the target animal was mountain lion, Dave let several foxes walk away throughout the day.
The terrain that Dave was hunting is similar to and not far from the terrain I wrote about and provided photos of in this earlier post: http://www.wildlifecallers.com/blog/2009/08/24/western-grey-fox-calling-habitat-and-sign-wphotos/
The electronic game caller pictured is a Wildlife Technologies KAS-2030-ML. The sounds Dave used to call this dynamic duo was Pileated Woodpecker Distress, Partridge Distress, Baby Cottontail Distress, and other mixed bird and mouse noises. Both arrived in under fifteen minutes, in just a few seconds of each other.
Good calling, hunting, and photography to everyone!!

good job Dave hope to see more from you and Mark
Marty – Thank you for stopping in and reading. I’ve got some excellent new video that we’re getting ready to post.
Tell Jason I’m gonna miss our Missouri deer hunt this year. If all goes well, I’d like to come see you for some bobcat & coyote calling action in the spring!
Mark
we are both ready for the visit and the hunt, let us know what works best for you, Dave and whoever
Yeah…BIG man! Really tough guy! Yur sick. Get some counseling…
To: The Beall,
Good morning and thank you for reading.
I will agree to disagree with you on the merits of hunting. I see it as a positive (and sane) sport and if done in conjunction with federal and local game laws, one that preserves wildlife for ours and future generations.
I did look at your site and must say that land and habitat conservation is important to us too. Knowing that hunters do, and have done more for the environment than any “conservation” group ever has, we will continue to support the efforts of hunters worldwide.
I also urge you to align yourself & your environmental cause with hunting organizations that have a vested interest in preserving the American prairies and grasslands (bird hunters, and antelope hunters come to mind). The dollars and volunteer efforts from these groups will eclipse anything you’ll get from high-minded folks who are big on words and short on deeds.
Not to mention – we’re a great group of people (with, like any large group, an unfortunate but small percentage of idiots). When you find out we’re not a bunch of mouth-breathing rednecks raised by wolves, you might just like a few of us.
All the the best outdoors,
Mark Healy
There is nothing positive about killing predators which you do not intend to eat and use to the animals’ full extent. That is not sustainable hunting nor survival hunting, trophy hunting IS sick buddy, totally sick and heartless. Additionally, it has been legal to completely wipe out species off the face of the earth so please don’t try to spread the delusion that if people hunt according to the law that it “protects” wildlife. Why don’t you get a healthy hobby that doesn’t involve murdering beautiful wildlife, like they don’t have enough problems with habitat-loss and the cattle industry.
