Hey gang! I haven't truly posted anything in several years so I thought I'd share this.
When I was about 10 years old I had a run in with a fox and my old black fiberglass bear bow, along an old rail road track behind grandmother's house.

Typing on my phone so this is segmented...
Anyways after that encounter I have wanted to shoot a fox with my bow worse then anything!
I had several close encounters over the years but something always went wrong. It seemed I just couldn't get it done.
But after 30 plus years it finally happened.
Black locust selfbow, River cane arrows, and knapped obsidian heads put this guy down very quickly!

Nice !

Mate, that is really special! I am sure I killed a fox years ago with my first longbow, but he went into these tunnels made by really thick grass. Lost. Maybe someday.

Great job ! I had a fox come right at me once while walking to my stand . There was two of them and they acted like they were going to attack. I let the lead fox get within 10 yards and shot his butt . The 2ND fox was circling me to my right but ran when I shot the first one . My father found it dead in one of his barns . We felt like it may have been rabid.

Good to see you back Dennis-Congratulations-Hap

Congrats sir! That is an awesome set up your shooting! Love the primitive set ups!

I managed it once. I was set up on a stool in some knee high ferns. He came walking in to me, paused, and looked away. He was about 8 yards away, which would explain why I was able to hit him. At the shot, he ran downhill, and I heard a loud thump. When I searched, I found him in the bottom of a little dry creek bed. It looked as if he ran as far as he could, tried to jump the ditch, and landed in the bottom. When I dragged him back up the hill, I stumbled across the arrow about 40 yards uphill from where I shot. It was a cedar shaft with an original Bear Razorhead.

Good work Brother!

Have killed a few with the gun and have missed a fair number with the bow. Congratulations!

That's sweet. One never got close enough for me to try.
