I hunt all over. I actually was going to finish the morning up on some of my favotite SGL but, I lost critical time during the recovery process. It was very hard to recover most of what I shot due to the distance they were taken at. The fox really worked the wind and stayed out there on me. Very hinky and didn't want to offer to many shot possibilities. It was a very unique hunt and out of the ordinary for me. I did manage one hard charger at approximately 8 yards. Everything else was a poke.
Chris,
I am a circuit hunter. I target an area of the state along with the most efficient means then I hit it. Last night I had to travel quite far. Its always a good time. Last hunt I got 11 reds on the same circuit. PA as well as any state or Providence has great habitat for one species or another. Certain regions are more blessed than others. I am a target hunt. I say this often but, its very true. I usually ask myself what i am in the mood for to hunt and then I target a region and modify my tactics for the hunt. Sure you will get the occasional surprise but, I have quite a good percentage for predicting called in predators. I called in only red fox, five cats, two skunks and three owls. Sure a grey fox or a coyote could have surprised me but, its would be more rare for that circuit. I travelled to far for this hunt or quite honestly I would not have even blown the call once. Almost all my stands were forced which goes against my hunting practices. Giving them a huge wind advantage like I did is not smart but, I gambled due to the distance that was involved otherwise I would have picked a better day to fight. Patience kills many more predators for me than forcing sets. Good luck if you get out.
