Taxi I see the same thing but I always figured it was inter-species competition for the same areas and resources. A fox checks fox urine because he is looking for love or at least to establish his own area. A coyote of cat checks it and thinks "a fox huh, better stay out of my way you little so and so. And visa versa.
Either way I have used all kinds of urine but I favor fox myself especially on post sets which produce well for me.

Probably right,Leftlane.Do you use red or gray fox urine? Interesting question. I’ve always just used red fox urine, but we mainly have greys here. I have seen a few bottles of grey for sale, but I read somewhere that grey wasn’t as potent. So does anyone use Grey urine exclusively?

Seems I get a more aggressive response early from red fox urine with yotes. I figure their the low man on the totem pole. I use both for the intended purpose, but not at every set. Late season it swings to more response from coyote urine. Actually at some locations both at the same set gets more all season. For me Grey fox has never been a game changer, I use red fox for both reds, and greys. Grey's are so aggressive I don't think it matters. I trapped the first grey this past season for the first since 2011. The yotes would not commit to that remake or the other 2 fresh sets close by. Not even a scratch kick, don't know why. Thoughts??

Do you think a canine can tell what it was that peed on some grass? Fox or coyote or dog? Or they just know another predator is in there territory?

I really do.I know they say pee is pee but I can easily tell the difference between red,gray,coyote and wolf and I have a poor sense is smell.None of those animals smell remotely alike.Even bobcat and mountain lion smell different.Coyotes have a nose far better than we can fathom.Also,so many trappers report on different results with different species urines.Yes,I believe they can smell the difference.

Now down here that’s different. I caught a coyote, remade the set and caught a grey, remade the set and put another right outside the catch circle and caught another coyote, then another grey in the original. But, this was virgin property that had never been trapped. Most grey fox catches produced a coyote within a few days. First place I’d trapped where remakes were guaranteed catches.

I use red because it's what I have but I'm just not that picky. If i catch a bobcat and she has thr sexy look in her eye i collect her urine in Hope's of luring in a big ol tom at the next few sets. I do catch toms but also asan coyotes as on the fox urine. Go figure

Do you guys think a coyote that has never smelled red fox before would react differently than a coyote that smells fox all the time? Probably for the better. I would think another predator in the woods would draw his attention.
