Nighttime predator calling can be an exciting and effective way to attract predators like coyotes, foxes, and bobcats. Here are some tips to get you started:

Choose the Right Call: Electronic calls or mouth calls that mimic distress sounds of prey animals (like rabbits or rodents) are often effective.

Location: Set up in areas where predators are known to hunt, such as near water sources, fields, or wooded areas.

Timing: Predators are most active during the early evening and just before dawn.

Stay Concealed: Use camouflage and stay downwind to avoid being detected by the predator’s keen senses.

Safety First: Always be aware of your surroundings and ensure you have a clear line of sight.
