Sunday afternoon outing


Gus

Recommended Posts

Went out Sunday afternoon to my deer stand to see if some hogs would come out to the feeder, and before I got in the stand I hung the new foxpro caller in a tree about 50 yards from the stand. I was getting tired of waiting on the hogs, so I turned on the caller and this little fox showed up. I went across the pasture to try to call up something by the tank, but the hogs showed up over there while I was sitting and letting things calm down before I started up the call. So I just loaded up the hog and the fox and headed back to town. Going to go again next weekend and see what I can call up with the foxpro

Congratulations! What do you do with the fox hides?

I have a buddy that does taxidermy work, I take the hides to him and he either puts them on stretchers with some of his hides or he does some sort of mount with them. When he sells his hides he gives me a cut of it for my hides plus he gives me a little discount on the taxidermy work he does for me.

Congrats Tonya. Must be fun to use a caller like that. Ever tried to film yourself doing that?

I have never tried to film my hunts, but this was the first time I actually tried to call up something during the day. As soon as I seen this fox coming, I thought about borrowing my sisters camcorder and filming some of the animals during the day coming to the call. I did call up another fox that I just messed with using the caller and decoy. The first time he just about ran over the decoy and then messed around out in front of me for awhile, I turned off the caller and decoy and he went back into the brush, as soon as I turned everything back on he came back for more, I did this about 4 times, and I was thinking boy would that be cool to get all this on video. Might just have to try it out :D

...Hey, that's neat!...and I like the way you laid the fox over the hog.

....Is that a cross fox??

It is a grey fox, a few reds around my place, but I have not seen one in years.

Congrats Tonya on the fox and hog. You always seem to have a blast when you hunt :D Sounds like a lot of fun.

Thanks, yes I always have fun when I go hunting, and it is fun to go out and call up these predators. Most times I go out at night for them and it is always fun to turn on the light and see the eyes coming towards you. This was the first time I had actually called up something during the day and it was just as much fun, going to try my luck again this weekend out at my uncles place. He told me he had seen a few foxes around the chicken house and he wanted them gone, so we will see if I can get them to come to the call :D
