As usual the calling is picking up towards the later part of the season. The deep soft snow has started melting together and freeze at nights up here. Further south they have already lost the snow.
I went down to hunt with a buddy in Central Sweden about a week ago. It was the last days of the season down there, ends March 15.
It was a bit too windy for my taste, but we were down there and were convinced there were plenty of foxes. Still we called the whole first morning without seeing a single fox. In the evening I called in two. For a change I got mine and my buddy missed his.
The second morning we had a sneaker show himself well downwind of my buddy, but he didn't get a shot. In the evening I had one suddenly pop up at 50 yards straight to my right. It was gone before I could get my sights on it.
The third days was our big day with 7 foxes called in and 3 shot.
Here is my buddy P-A with the first of the morning. A female that came out on a forest edge out of sight and downwind from me. She caught my wind, but after she took off over a field she made one last stop before entering the woods 200 yards from P-A, and down she went.
Here is P-A watching my back on the following stand.
And here is the big old fox he killed. (Just as I spotted it at the forest edge staring at the Predator Enticer in the field in front of me... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif)
This is the four foxes that actually got shot out of the 11 I called in down there. We got two each, all good-sized adults.
And this is the first I have managed to hit since I got back up north. I have called in 4 in three mornings and one evening (plus 2 showing outside range). I will not reveal the exact number of shots fired as I can see no good come out of that... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
