Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Well we have the common red fox, and have found several dens where momma has several pups. But we also found a little bit larger fox that I called out local Fish Wildlife and Parks about. He said it was a cross fox, and should make for a nice pelt. Along with the coyote problem that we have, and the foxes I'm thinking that my .223 Rem and my stand by .22 WMR are going to see some action after our general rifle season is over. I'm gonna purchase a few more calls, and I'm thinking of a good electronic one with variant sounds to bring them in to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Good luck on those foxes. Post some pics of your success. Will do, but we hunt the 4 legged varmints after our general rifle season, and that ends Thankgiving weekend. I may take my little .22 WMR out this weekend just to pack it along, since where gonna be in another area that is also good for coyotes and shots are real close. Can't wait for my .223 Rem bull barrel to get here and then I will get that all sighted up and ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Cross fox are actually "Red fox", just a different colour phase. No other differences. Actually I called our Fish Wildlife and Parks dept in Kalispell, and told them that this was much larger than a regular red fox with a color variant of some tan and black with a white tipped tail. He identified it as a cross fox, which I had not heard of until I did the search at Google. But it looked nothing like those pictures which does look like what you say, a differant color phase of a red fox. I'm gonna get this rascal, as I've been watching the fox dens around the farm. As soon as the cattle are picked up that the owner has, then we can get turned loose to nail some coyotes and foxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
