Has any one here ever had any luck calling near sandpits. I also live near a rock crushing place thats closed for the season thati've found lots of fox-coyote signs. Any suggestions. I'm thinking about setting up near the edge of the woods.

Down in New Durham, I've walked a bunch of sand and gravel pits that are full of tracks and sign. Unfortunately, no hunting allowed.

I would use them as a funnel or force to get them to you. On the edge is were it is at. If, you find a low spot to set up and put your caller on the high ground that might work. It worked for Dan and I on the last coyote we got. They were on the edge looking up to the caller and the caller was pointing at them. The caller was facing the wind and the wind was at there backs. But, the open lay of the land made it happen. They were not ready to break cover. With Dan set in the right spot he was able to shoot into the cover at the edge and get one. That is were a partner comes into play. With mating season on they might break cover though.  Use Google earth and plan your setups. Get a birds eye view of the pits and lay of the land. I can't believe how much I use it. Plus, it's free.  Saves a lot of leg work. Highwaystar P.S. omega47: Dan and I hunt New Durham. Perron land on Old Bay Rd. We have night permits for that land too! |

Ahh - the advantage of knowing the land owner  The pits I've been walking in that area are all posted. I'd love to go out with you if you have a spot with lots of dogs... |
