What are your favorite times to hunt Preditors? Days or night's, conditions? What equipment do you use? Light's, scopes, optic's, bipods or shooting stix?

I have two methods that I use for predator/fur hunting.
The first one is solely for coon hunting. I slowly walk field edges after dark(usually around 8 PM or after) shining my light into the trees and out into the field looking for eyes. I then approach the tree or chase them up a tree if possible(have had several over the years go to ground instead of up a tree). Hit them with the light and shoot them with my 17 HMR handgun.
For Coyote and Fox hunting I'll scout out areas for sign and return later within an hour after sunset or the hour before sunrise. I'll setup using shooting sticks(don't like the extra weight of the bipod on my rifle(rifle already weighs 11 pounds) and a battery powered handheld spotlight to shine the area as I make several calls with the rabbit squealer and howler(for yotes).
My rifle of choice for this is my Ruger M77 MkII in 22-250 remington with 55 grain handloads.

Night for yotes.. find sign.. move in under the cover of dark and squeal on the bunny blues.. If you know your vocalizations and when to use them, then use those by all means..
