We used to use this setup on fox with snow cover for close up shots.
Take some corn (About a 5 gallon bucket) hot water, red food coloring Mix and let set overnight. You are basicaly making a gut pile. Spread the red fake blood on the snow within shooting range of a blind or very good cover. Get out a crow call and do a feeding call. (Kind of "CAWW CAWW slight pause CAWWWww. ) If you have a fake crow decoy set them out also. We used small back flags, As the other crow arrive they will start calling in others and all that racket brings in fox and yotes (There were no yotes back then in Indiana). You think those coyotes have good eyes those crows arn't shabby, stay very still once the first crow arives.
We shot fox as close as 30 feet away coming in to chase off the crows and get a free dinner. We have also shot them well over a hundred yards when they hung up on us.
If night hunting is allowed we use shotguns and calls and they get alot closer then in the daylight.
