Usually I call in foxes if I am using a dead rabbit as a lure but in January when they are starting to mate they are much less susceptable to calling. They have other thoughts on their mind....
This however makes them much more bolder...and you often see them out and about in much less "cover" than they usually use. If there are two of them and one keeps getting pushed by the other and sits down a lot...she is the female and this is the one to shoot first. The male will circle around and come back to her and you can take him then.
Fox, human, it’s all the same.
Many a man has lost his head over a woman, and ended up with his pelt nailed to the wall.
It’s the circle of life.
