I will take pics this afternoon when I get home from work. I have never posted a pic on here so I may need to e-mail them to one of you pic pro's to have them posted. Thanks for the kind words all. It was certainly an unforgettable evening on stand for this ol' bowhunter. It sounds crazy but I think I would rather have taken him over a nice buck. Its just a rare thing for me to see, let alone shoot at.

I forgot to mention that his 18# of body mass somehow broke my arrow in half? No clue how that happened considering he didnt move after the hit, maybe 2-3 feet?

I shot a gray fox a few years ago.  Before my arrow passed through him he bit it in half.  I wold have never guessed they could do it.  I actually still have the arrow, first kill with wood.

congrats!  i've had several chances at a pair of grays this year under persimmon trees but they were too much fun to watch.  might try one in the next week or two now that it's getting cooler and the fur is getting thicker.  red's and yotes are about the sharpest animal in the woods and are a real trophy.  i killed a yote with a compound about 20 years ago by calling him in with a bobwhite whistle.  missed reds twice last year and had one walk under my stand on opening day this year but didn't get a shot.

Great shooting! They are a tough critter to get. Last night I told a co-worker who is a big pedator hunter that I was going to try to hunt some fox I see. He thought I was nuts to try with trad gear let alone a compound.  :laughing:
Thanx for sharing and for the encouragement to try.

Congrats!

It is funny and obviously regional but we have tons of foxes and I see and pass them all the time. I had one the other day sleeping 15 yards from my stand the other morning. They are fun and entertaining to watch. Now coyotes are our rarity and I would like to get a  crack at one of them.

That is a nice trophy for sure.  I would do the full body mount, too.  Good Job.  Let's see some pics.

Nice! Foxes are beautiful critters no doubt and to take one with a stickbow is awsome accomplishment. So I would say Trohy of a lifetime.

LV2HUNT is must be regional, we have yotes coming out the woodwork around here, few fox. I know its one or the other because they dont care for each other and yotes from what Im told will kill a fox the first chance they get. Pics coming in a few hours after I get back home. I will never forget the sight of that arrow flying dead straight to that shoulder, GOD that was beautiful!

Pearl Drums,
Congrats on the fox, a trophy for sure and imho the most beautiful mammal in the woods.  Interestingly, the thought among DNR folks seemed to be that the coyote which are plentiful were taking over fox, like you mentioned.  But over the past two years there has been an explosion in fox population even though yotes still seem to be numerous as well.  This has been in mid west Ohio where I live and in S.E. Ohio where I hunt. I see a number of them on trail cameras and three were shot, 2 with bows by the guys in our camp last season.
