As anyone who has read any of my posts know, I'm not one for well written write ups here. I usually can't even get a sentence written on this phone without exessive autocorrect problems or getting a case of the fat finger on this phones keyboard so I will keep it short.
This was my best night of fox calling and although we shot 3 more that were not recovered, I am blessed to be able to have been a part of another really amazing night here in MD chasing our red fox.
We shot a grey about 1 minute into a close quarters stand that got dumped with the 12GA. and a load of #4buck only to have him run off when we got about 5 feet from picking him up after continuing on the set for 20 minutes and squeezing another red fox out of it.
We also had 2 scenarios in one night of walking up to pick up a fox shot with the wmr that got up and started to run. Luckily, after what would make any anti hunters head explode, we got those two on the rack.(just imagine three grown men trying to tackle a red fox then squealing like girls when it spins it's little jaws around on them) unfortunately Dave did not bring the camera out for that recovery and we didn't get that on film. But it was a fight to the death.
I am also pleased to report that the blue dot reduced load shot 8 of these and only had one with visible damage and that was just a bad (low) shot. All others drt with no exit and couldn't see the entrance until they sat on the rack and bled a little.
All in all it was a night I won't soon forget and I was lucky enough to spend it with two of my best friends. We managed to get back to the barn to skin 15 red fox by 7:30am. Thanks for reading guys!
