Fox/Coyote driving is another way to hunt  that is becoming quite popular in many places. It offers a faster pace and requires no special equipment or skills. A few friends, and possibly a dog or two, is all that you will need, and you use similar hunting plans and techniques as on a whitetail deer drive. Place your posters on logical escape routes such as river or creek bottoms, hedgerows, ditches or even open fields, and start the drivers beating the brush. Foxes/Coyotes will break cover when pressured and will often run across an open field for safety.

During rifle deer season when we drive at least one stander always gets a pop at a coyote so it does work.

Talked to a guy at the range one day & he was tellin me they get several each year that way.  :wo:

I've heard the old timer's say they used to do it with the whole community.  Literally pushed square miles of land and they killed a lot.  I think maybe the brown jug and age blurred some of the memories.
I say what I think not think what I say.

I bet using google earth and such to look over the lay of the land you could do some really effective drives.

That would be cool in heavily infested problem areas. I might have to try that one day.

Would take the fun out of calling though.  :biggrin:

There a LOT of that going on here.
But these guys turn dogs loose to do the driving, and then they set in their trucks watching the logical openings. They discuss what they see over CB radios and adjust their locations accordingly.
They bag a lot of coyotes every year :eyebrownod:

That's how most people do it around here. Except they don't usually do it in the timbers,
that would mean getting out and walking. They usually surround the sections,  drive down every creek line,
fence line, and terrace, and radio any action to each other. They get a lot doing it that way.
I'd rather call myself.
I'd do it the way your talkin, like deer huntin here, except I don't think I could find that many people that'd wanna walk,
to effectively do it.   :nono:

The local paper has a yesteryear section. I've seen reports of the local fox hunt, 1933 I think, took like 170 red fox!
