That looks great.  Your friend is an artist and sure does some nice work.

The story is pretty simple actually. It was the first afternoon of bow season '09. I was set up fairly early so I took off my tab and started reading a book. I just happened to look down and this fox was about 8 yards below my stand intently smelling where I had walked in (I had sprayed some fox urine on my boots as cover scent).

He was so intent on the smell, that I was able to put down my book, put on my tab, pick up my bow and shoot him. He never once looked up at me. The shot was perfect and the arrow pinned him to the ground.

Since it was so early, I climbed down and carried him about 60 yards to the edge of the field.

Just before dark I had a nice fat 5 pt bock come by and I killed him also, with a 15 yard shot. Turned out to be a pretty good day!

Great looking mount!

One thing is for certain, you "picked a spot" when you shot. I`m betting the arrow hit EXACTLY where you were looking!

I wanted to share this but didn't want to highjack your thread Allen, but can't stand it anymore. I have a friend that shot a black coyote last year and just got it back this winter as well. Its a very similar mount. Not a trad kill so mods chop away if necessary. Just thought I would share it as it is an amazing animal. What a trophy.

Great fox mount. Very realistic

TJ, that is an awesome coyote mount!  That critter on the wall behind it must be hard to find in Kentucky these days!  Do they have a special season for those?!

Season is very short and the bag limit in one every 10,000 years Allen. They call him "Rex". Go figure.

My son Evan was very intrigued when he saw that pic!!

I think he wants me to go hunting for one!!  LOL

[Rooselk]

VERY nice.

That looks great Allen.  You and Bill (Cool Springer) were thin'in out the fox herd in '09.  Hope you don't mind, but here is Bill's red fox from the same county and year:

Dale did a great job for you Allen and it is a good looking mount. Best to the CS boys.

[A.S.]

Thanks Tom (and everyone else), yep Dale (the taxidermist)worked his magic once again. I am blessed to have more than my fair share (at least my wife thinks so) of his work.

[JPaul]

Great mount. Need to show that to my Taxidermist. I keep teasing him that he has lost his creativity.
