Out prowling around in my Ghillie and had this guy come bopping up. Had an arrow tipped with a steel blunt nocked on my little Kbx because I had just seen a rabbit. Had to shoot him with the blunt since he ran up on me so fast. Must be lethal at 10 yards as it killed him like the wrath of God! Very hard to draw on these guys, been busted by many others trying. He stopped with his head behind some low weeds, a quick swing draw and viola, my first success on a fox after many failures! (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc447/swinestalker1/foxghillie.jpg)

Have to mount him, been trying to kill one of these darn things with stick and string for 30 years! Don't know what I'm happier about, the big 8 point or this little rascal!
-
Beautiful, witty critters :)
-
Congrats SS, a huge accomplishment.
Can you show us how you trimmed out your bow arm?

That is a beautiful trophy.

Nice job.

Great job! The Fur looks great!

They are tough with stick and string, nice one!
-
Nice! I was lucky to get one with my recurve last year and having it mounted. I don't think I'd shoot another one. They are really beautiful. Congrats
-
Congrats on a real accomplishment! :thumbsup:
-
Awesome! All of the canine predators are tough been trying longer than I can remember no luck so far. Beautiful fox.

Did not trim it out. It's not in the pic because I just threw the ghillie back on for the photo, but I stole a panty hose from my wife and made a "sleeve" out of it that compresses the ghillie. Shhhhhh, don't tell my wife!

Now get you a fat squirrel to mount with it...predator and prey mount :)
Nice job!

That sir, is an outstanding idea! I just happen to have a very rare smoke phase fox squirrel in the freezer killed earlier this year. :thumbsup:

We got a couple one winter night when I was in high school, 60s. Bright full moon lots of snow, no wind, what else to do? We went fox calling. Red fox fur was worth a lot of money at the time, we sold them.

That's a great trophy! Haven't seen many on here come to think of it.
The ghillie suit looks awesome too, is it home made or branded?
-
Congrats!

It is several years old and I don't know if they still offer it, but it is a Synthetic Lite from Ghilliesuits.com

Not easy to hit with an arrow at all, I've missed three over the years . Just move to fast and were gone before the arrow gets there. Good job.
-
That is fantastic. Quite an accomplishment - glad you are going to do a mount
-
Impressive, not an easy target. Very cool. Congrats
-
I've taken one grey like your little guy and one red with the bow. Both required making a good shot with little time to think about it. Way to go.
-
Good job! :thumbsup:
-
Nice Job.
For years sightings on fox were zero where I hunt. Then in the last few years I have started seeing a few. I have been told by the landowners wife NO shooting her foxes...
They put ears of corn on several stumps around their house for squirrels. Lately one fox has learned the stumps are good squirrel hunting areas.
-
Nice shooting, and hunting.
-
wow, that is awesome!!!! Congrats!
-
Fantastic Trophy!!
-
Nice job! I like your suit.
-

Never really thought of that, but you have a point!
