I am just getting into calling with a friend of mine and I'm wondering a few things. I use a lot of hand calls, are electronics better? If so, what kinds of sounds should I get with it? How far apart are your stands when calling? I am picking some things up here and there but I want more!!! Thanks for any help you can give me.

They'll be 2 of the best predator callers in the NE at the Fur Rondy in a week, Tom Bedchel & Al LaFrance. I'm sure you can pick up a few pointers from them.....

I'm no master caller, but I kill a few here and there. I mainly call gay fox, I use an FX5 by Fox Pro with a pup in distress and their new screaming gray fox. I sometimes use a hand call to change things up. I never pay attention to the distance between stops, as long as it is a new brush lot, I call it..

"You can always tell those apart because they come skipping in like little school girls."
There's nothing more fun to call. I remember the first gray fox I called in, I was like What The %$#^!!! Hooked ever since!
Another good tip that we have learned; get a Dead Coyote choke tube and get the Dead Coyote rounds. They work great @ fifty yards. The reds hold up at about that distance and it's nice to be able to still touch them!
Some people will argue that this is too much for Fox. Two years ago I shot a gray with a .223 hollow point round. The entrance was the size of a penny, the exit was the size of a Softball. I was going to discard it, but I decided to try my hand at sewing it. It turned out good and I received $40.00 for it.

The last 2 seasons we have seen an increase in the Grey Fox population, as you can tell by our last 2 barn shots. I hope that this continues. Any idea what has caused this?? Disease, coyotes?

Its more of HOW they will respond .The bold are first to go.It will be stop,LOOK, and swing.You will be watching your cloud in the cold redhaze .Thanks to the coyote.I think maybe both thinned them out along with the coon.More so distemper.You will see less and less coon damage to the corn .The coyotes call the corn home.Ive listened to the yotes many nights work corn.

Andy, I have used both electronic calls and hand calls, each have their place, but if you can master the hand call you will out perform electric with the exception of calling Grey fox. Can't beat the pup call.
