red fox calling

[RyanX]

Hey guys, I was wondering if calling reds is much different from calling greys. I have a few questions because I am still on the learning curve. How do reds come into a call? Will reds come into grey fox pup in distress? How long do I need to sit? Do you guys use fox vocals for reds? What kind of area should I look for to call in? What sounds do you guys like to use for reds? Is there any sounds that work well for both reds and greys? Any advise will much appreciated.

I can't answer all those questions but my best red fox areas are farms with fence rows. I love calling for reds\grays along fence rows and field edges. Almost any sound I have ever used works. Red fox pup distress is a great sound as well as rabbit\jack rabbit distress. I normally call for fox around 7-10 minutes. Once I start calling and nothing shows up within five minutes I am pretty much done. I did have a red come in to the one setup about 20 minutes after I started. Usually I am long gone by then. Most are within 3 minutes. They often come bouncing in, stopping to look several times. They won't charge in like a gray.

I have to agree. Most of my red fox places are farms or deserted farms. Usually a rule of thumb that I was told when just starting out was "look for reds on the highest and lowest places on the farm". Aka the fields and fence rows. I have one spot with a fence row on the left and a creek on the right. I shot 6 fox from the same tree last year that all died within 20 feet of each other. Reds will tend to hang up a lot easier and not charge in like grays.

cornfields with some minor fringe habitat = red fox.  Find those cornfields.
