It' almost as enjoyable catching things in cables as when you see you just near missed a coyote or a fox...You learn from that to.. You see where they are running all the time. Actually the misses were so close it just a matter of time when I go back and there they are in the restraint. As far as calling goes... You can tell by the way the tracks looks if the critters are just passing through or hunting... If you see them going from point A in a field to the Top of the Hill Point B... You probably just scared them and they took off in front of you or they were passing through... What I like to see is when you see them weaving in and out of al the brush piles... those canines are hunting... Come back to that farm after dark and you probably get a shot at one calling...
