Yes. I have excellent luck keeping foxes interested on most of my stands. Sometimes I can call them and keep them near the caller for several minutes, and other times I call them – they leave – I call them back – they leave – call ‘em back…

I had a bobcat come in and sit near the speaker, completely mesmerized, for a long time. I just wish I had video of it! I was carrying my .243 that day and he got shot.

I had a mountain lion (near Sedona Arizona) stay above the speaker on a rock ledge for between 10 and 15 minutes. Several sound changes kept him interested. He paced back a forth looking mighty confused. The guys who were with me (a real estate agent & a criminal defense attorney) looked absolutely stunned – priceless.

I do okay with coyotes, but Rich and Tyler Higgins of Predator Professionals, can get a coyote to pitch a tent and stay all day. Truly amazing what a little practice will do.

The trick is to leave the gun in your truck (I force myself not to shoot) on several stands and practice keeping critters “on scene” and keep time of how you do. Just like every other aspect of this predator calling sport, you’ll get good at it if you practice.

I’ll see you Monday night at XPC.
