When hunting Coyote and/or Fox, what % do you hunt during the day compared to night?

100% night hunting for fox.  Coyotes are by chance predator here in Pa. Outwest i hunt 100% during the day for coyotes.

99% of my hunting is at night  for fox or coyote. What is not at night is at dusk or sunrise.

I have had the best luck in my area just before dark (2hrs before) or whenever the moon is out during the daylight hours. Due to lack of good lighting I hunt 70% day to 30% night.

I'm just wondering.  I don't have plans to hunt them, but what about Bobcats?  When I hunt IL, I see coyotes and Bobcats walking around the woods during the day all the time.  I've never seen a fox, but I'm guessing with the number of coyotes out there, foxes don't stand a chance.

I've called in a couple of Pa bobcats.They were all at night
Coyotes will dent the red population but greys to be standing up for thereselves.The greys I got this year were takin in areas loaded with coyotes

Hern and I agree on the fox and coyotes.....You can call fox in the daytime....I like to hunt coyotes in the daytime now.  They need protein so they will come to the call in the daytime during the winter.....
