Who's fox hunting?

Small target, good shot.

Coyotes have pretty much run off the fox around here. Going forward, coyotes will leave and go where they go. Down the road, rabbits will return, followed by a fox comeback, then coyotes will return. Endless circle. Ok, fox are interesting critters, look like a dog, act like a cat. Last one I shot obviously had something wrong with it (rabies?) as it tried to follow me into the basement in the middle of the day.
 
We have lots of coyotes here in CT, but we still have foxes. I have found that the foxes have moved into the deciduous swamps where the cover is very thick. I usually call at the edges of these swamps so I might get a response from either a fox or a coyote. A fox coming into the call is very skittish, as it probably is aware that there may be a coyote around too. Once I spot a fox coming into the call I switch my call to a mouse squeaker. Most times, the fox will respond and come in, but I have had them hang in the brush and refuse to come out.
 
We had tons of both back in Georgia; there was plenty of food for all of them. I've seen coyotes in pastures jumping up and diving head first catching mice/rats; just like foxes do.
 
I've called in fox many years ago, both in western NC and in the Ocala N.F. in Florida. On both occasions, they came in fast, like a coyote.

I've also called in coyote, in Fl, and they came in fast, too.

It's funny, because I just told my father today I kinda wanted to go predator calling after having not been hunting in years.
