Wildlife Callers

Call ‘em close and keep ‘em close.  Gray fox are just one predator that can be manipulated with animal vocalizations and distress sounds – watch this little guy talking back at us. 

On one of my last trips to Central Arizona for a mountain lion scouting and calling trip, I found myself as I often do, in the middle of several gray fox.  Because my focus is calling mountain lions, I rarely shoot fox these days.  However, I’ve had some of the newer guys to predator calling ask me to do some educational videos of animals coming to the call.  I thought this was an excellent idea. 

Arizona Gray Fox

Because my intent is not to shoot/harvest a fox, I have the unique opportunity to film the behavior of the called animal from the time it arrives to the time it leaves.  Also, while I have the fox in the area of the caller I have the opportunity to use the sounds from my Wildlife Technologies electronic predator caller to capture and keep the attention of the animal for long periods of time.  The result is video that shows people some basic ways to scout for and to call a fox.  The video clips also demonstrate how animals respond to being called and what happens during various sound changes on the caller. 

In this video I call in a very vocal fox that comes in fast, stays for a long time, and puts on a great show. (more…)
