hunting conditions
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:36 pm
just wondering what "your" ideal conditions are for coyote/fox hunting.i went for a drive today what seemed to be a good day to ee a few critters and only saw 2 fox , very close to my fur buyers place-1/2 mile . any way, got me thinking as to why some days there are lots of animals seen and others you can't buy one. i've gone out on warm,calm sunny days and have seen 30-40+ and some times the same conditions a week or 2 later will yield minimal animals??mfovarite days start with a calm night with 10-30 degree temps with daybreak bringing suuny calm weather. however i like it to cloud up soon after sunup becuase i'm primarally a spot n stalker and a sunny day can throw alot of shadows over a snowwy field. a light north wind will usally set them out on the south facing spots where they will bed down for the duation of the day. this year we've had few good days for spot n stalk due to windyier than normal.this is aimed mostly at you trappers as you guys are out every day and have probally noticed when your catch is good and bad. is there a way to predict when is a good time to go out ??? can you wake up in the morning and kinda tell if your gonna have a good day???. does the moon phase,humitity,temp,barometor seem to have an influance on your catches??.i know there are obvios things like a blizzard,rainstorm,ect. that will shut movement dowd but what about the not so obvios. p.s, the best days are anytime you can get out
