I've called in some of the same critters as many of you, and unless I missed it, I've got a new one. Skunks! I seem to be a grand champion skunk caller. I've had a bunch of them at petting distances over the years, and It's amazing how still you can be when you have a skunk sniffing your pant leg. You don't dare blink, pray you don't cough, and hope it wanders off SOON.

I hear ya there,
Ive never had a critter, be it large or small have me as nervous as a skunk that walked under my chair just at daylight while deer hunting one morning. My daughter was beside me and I just knew he was gonna sniff her leg,she would scream and we would be skunked for sure but he eased off thank goodness. Made for a fun memory though.

Last spring I called in a Fisher.

Last spring I called in a Fisher.

fishers are turkey eating machines. They can climb like a squirrel and kill turkeys on a limb while the beloved birds are sleeping. They also die as easy as a squirrel. Here in CT the state reintroduced them, I believe to keep turkey numbers in check and to repopulate the species. I also think it's working, unfortunately.

I've thought about that myself. Our turkey population has been going downhill here for several years and took a big nose dive last spring. To the point that if things aren't looking up this spring, I may not shoot a bird. We have a 2 bird limit here, and since I've noticed the decline, I've only been shooting one bird a year in hopes that it would help to some extent.

I haven't trapped anything but a few beaver in years, but there's a couple young guys just up the road from me that trap a little. They've caught 7 fisher in the past couple months. Not too long ago it was unheard of to see one here. I used to trap them up north, and they're killing machines for sure. like you said, our beloved birds aren't even safe from them on a tree branch. I wonder how much they're contributing to our low turkey numbers.

Last spring I called in 5 different coyotes.  They were out of control on that particular property in NY.  I have also called in coons, deer, fox and I think some hawks. Luckily I have not called in other hunters yet, maybe I am not a good caller!   jperch

had a red fox come strait in to 10' until I wiggled my foot
2 springs ago had a bear come stalking in until he winded us, ranged it at 31 yards after he left

a couple of weeks ago during the late season called a hunter in behind me to about 25 yards till I saw him, made him jump when I called out (also made me jump when I first seen him), I had been Kee Keeing on a mouth call.

[Oconeeguy]

Yotes, yayhoos & hawks. Had a jet black yote come directly to me within 15 yds a couple years ago.

[hs strut]

ive called in my share of yotes only a few lived to tell the tale. ive also called in poachers the law took care of that problem. ive also called in cows which seem to really like turkey calls. i had problems with the owner taking responsibility for his cows i again got this took care of quickly.

[WNCTracker]

This was my favorite.

Coyotes, bobcats, and people. Last spring I had a herd of bull elk all around me when I pulled the trigger on the mountain Merriam I killed in Colorado.

First year Dad and I had no idea what we were doing. Called in a rooster pheasant and pheasants are rare in this part of KS.
