calling foxes/coyotes from tree stand?

[wabi]

I've called a few foxes over the years, but always from the ground. We're getting a few more coyotes here in southern Ohio, but I haven't managed to call one in yet. I was out enjoying the great outdoors yesterday, and after a couple of falls on the snow covered layer of ice that blanketed the ground decided I just needed a very small dose of enjoyment for the day ;D
I did check the deer feeder we keep out all winter, and re-filled it, but the deer hadn't been moving much. There were many birds there, a lot of squirrel tracks, and even a few turkey tracks. I did cut a set of fox tracks nearby, and am sure the fox has to notice the diner in it's travels. I decided to try calling from the ladder stand that overlooks the feeder, but no results which wasn't really suprising given the weather conditions.
I was wondering if calling from an elevated stand is effective or not? If so, I may give that location another try when the weather is more cooperative.

Wabi,


Down here in southern ontario call from trees seems to work fairly well, i have shot 3 seperate red fox from a tree while calling, i even had one put its front paws on my tree and look up.

Hey wabi,

Sure calling from an elevated position has always worked well for me. Especially when using an electronic caller. Mouth calls too, though. Anytime you can hide your presence from the approaching predator you will score more. Be careful that your height doesn't restrict your view though, that could cause you some problems.

Wabi,

I started Predator hunting with a man that made his living in the 70's by selling furs and ginsing . He always turned in the most fur from our area . He was full blooded Cherokee and had to have some squirell in his family . He always told me that an elevated stand kept you above the line of sight of your prey and gave you a better view . He could shinny up a tree faster than anybody I have ever seen . We took numerous Bobcat , Red and Grey Fox and Coyotes from the trees . I took a nice Bobcat a couple of weeks ago while calling about 10 feet off the ground from a tree . I use eletronic and hand calls and have had good sucess with both . When using my C.D. player I lower the speaker to ground level , but I use my hand calls about 80% of the time .
Hope this helps .

A lot of the places I call from have tall grass! The best way to see anything at all is from a tree stand, Being most of it flat I can't get on much of a rise so up the trees I go! I use an electronic caller and put the speaker on the ground below me!

BD,

I have called a lot in your area. Get yourself a stool. It will open up whole new worlds for you.
