Critter calling...missed a fox
« on: January 16, 2015, 04:11:00 PM »
Went out to do some stumping, and maybe chase up some small game today. Came across a carcass of a small buck that had been stripped clean by predators.

   

I set up near the carcass and busted out with the critter call. Within 5 minutes of calling, I had a nice bobcat materialize out of no where! It was a thick area, and it seemed to have just appeared. I can't shoot bobcats here, and he was on me any way. He busted out of there like lightning!

After messing around the woods a while, I ended up on the edge of a field. There was a nice blow down on the edge in a low spot, so I thought I would set up for some more critter fun. I did some calling and after almost 15 minutes a fox showed up. I wasn't hidden very well, and he saw me draw. It jumped straight up at the shot, and I wasn't even close. I had a good laugh as he bolted across the field.

I had the camera set up for the calling sequence in the blow down. Here is the vid in case anyone interested in calling critters. I made an edit to shorten the time.

   
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Face camo, and some string silencers, would do the trick...nice vid

I wasn't all camoed up because I had only intended on stumping and hunting rabbits. But thanks.
