Post My first gray fox!!
Just shot this about an hour ago. The gray is very rare here these days. My buddy said he thought there were only about 16 killed in the whole state last year. Was gonna get a full body mount until i saw the head had a hole in it the size of a baseball.

That's cool man. This past season I shot my first fox too and with a bow. Facing me at 30 yards -- drilled him dead center in the chest. He is at the taxi now to get a full body mount!

Congrats. Anything killed with a bow is a trophy in my opinion. Im gonna have the taxi look at it and if its salvagable it will be a full body mount. If not im defiantly getting it tanned or let him use his imagination with it.

Just cut the head off and have him replace it with a rabbit or something. That would be kinda interesting..lol

I actually went back out and have been looking at it. The entrance hole between its eyes is minimal and the big hole is further down towards the back of the neck/head, so I think it might be salvagable.

I was down in a bottom squirrel huntin one day and sat up by a tree. Little while went by and heard something trotting through the woods. Dam coyote came about 25 yards from me. Had some 1 1/2 #6 in my gun and laid it down! First coyote kill.

It amazes me how much less fur the yotes have down there and the teeth are decaying. Guess it's not a stereotype for humans in the south :lol: awesome looking fox
