Trophy of MY lifetime! (pics now)
« on: November 03, 2010, 08:10:00 PM »
After a zillion years of hunitng I finally got an opportunity at a red fox and I made it count! I was in my deer stand watching a 3 1/2 yr old bruiser completely terrorize the place chasing every thing that twitched, all at once he left with a doe and the place got quiet again. An hour later a gorgeous red fox came trotting by and I made a kissing sound, drew, picked a spot and hit him right behind the shoulder and exited through the opposite leg, he never took another step. The shot was 18 yards on the spot. I will never forget this night! A full body mount is in order and the "boss" gave me clearance. I will get pics tomorrow. For the gear guys. I used a 62" Fatal Styk, 55# @ 30, 625 gr CE Heritage (tubes), with Bear greenies and no bleeders.   :biglaugh:

Great Job!!
Red fox aren't very big critters, so that was a heck of a small target and an awesome shot! Bravo!!   :clapper:

Nice shooting!   Foxes (IMHO) are the most underrated bowhunting trophy.   In 25+ years of bowhunting, I've only been successful in killing one.   Congratulations and thank the Mrs. for supporting you!

Congrats, can't wait to see the pics. I've had a few under my stand before, but no clean shots to take. Oh, and did I mention, can't wait to see the pics.
