Title: Critter night! Fox and the squirrel.
Post by: KentuckyTJ on November 24, 2012, 10:47:00 AM
No deer the other night but sometimes success is measured not by achieving what you are after.

The squirrel was fooling around under my tree and asking for it then about 30 minutes later the fox came hunting down the fence row. I squeaked with my lips and he stopped to investigate a moment too long. At 15 yards the grizzly ripped through him and he took off on a mad dash. At about 40 yards I watched him do a barrel roll and it was over.

Congrats.  I've always wanted to take a fox with my bow, but have never had the chance.

Very nice.  I don't hardly ever see a gray fox out and about in the daylight.

Nice shooting Tom, and a nice Gray Fox at that. At least you should be on target when the big BUCK arrive with that kind of shooting.(LOL)

That is really cool TJ. They are a rare sight around my neck of the woods. That one looks it would make one sweet  mount. I would use that squirrel for the mount also.

I hear you all! I would love to mount them both but if I did I would be looking for a new wife also haha. I promised I wouldn't mount anything else.  Usually your better half doesn't know what she is talking about concerning these issues, but in this case she is right. Unless I move I simply can't stuff (sorry) another thing into my man cave.
