Of course if there is snow you can find where they ran by the fresh tracks and likley see some blood drops on the snow. The guy who told me this has had it happen more than once.
I have also been told that foxes will be very interested in the distressed woodpecker call, not sure why, but I guess it's a good change-up from wailing wabbits.

A .22 Mag. HP will make a bigger exit to let it bleed out.
