Can it be done? What are the best sounds to use? I've never called before so this will be my first year trying it. Could y'all give me a few pointers?

Not easy, but if they are in the area, it can be done. I don't think the sound is of supreme importance, but they must have confidence, and that means protection from coyotes in the form of trees or boulders they can climb, for safety. If it's all flat, without safety, chances are you won't call them. A gray fox pup distress is a start if you use electronics.
Whoa? Arkansas? They have grays? Did you vote for Hillary and Bubba? (just kidding)
Good hunting. LB

I dont have the problem LB does with coyotes. Greys around here just charge in. The last hour of daylight has always worked well for me, never tried in the middle of the day though.....
But deffinitely grey fox distress.....

Lets not go there with the Clintons lol
We have lots of thickets, it will be close range shooting with lots of cover. I was gonna give it a try early in the morn and the evenings. I've seen a lot of greys traveling after daylight and before dark while deerhunting.
Will cats come in to the distress call too? I will be in areas with both.

Trappngrays, I just got a double last week. I was up a narrow, rocky canyon hiding in the shadows at about 10 a.m. My caller was on a flat near a wash. I was playing bird distress sounds.Two foxes came in. I took them both with my .204 with minimal fur damage. I kept the caller going and one more fox came in. However, it didn't present me with a good shot. Hope this helps and maybe I can get this picture to post .
