First Red Fox

A buddy from work asked me if I wanted to go fishing Friday so I took the day off and decided to try a couple spots last night for fox before we headed out in the morning.

1st and 2nd sets were dry.

On the way to another spot I saw a Red Fox cruise through a yard on the edge of town. I turned around and headed back a 1/2 mile to a property I can hunt and set out to a tree line. I set the caller 30 yards upwind and started it up and immediately had two sets of coyotes start howling. I let it play a minute or two then shut it off. I was watching the East/West tree line I was in and almost missed her coming across the field up wind of the caller. I turned on my light when it was straight North of me and then turned the caller back on low and then the eyes started bouncing in. Called her to 40 yards and let fly. She got back up after the first shot so I hit her agian. Not to pleased with my shooting tonight. Might have to put the modified choke back in. Mitch and I will be heading out tonight to try for a few fox and hopefully we'll have some luck and he will get on the board. We'll be trying all new spots. Here's a couple pics of my first Red Fox.

Good Work!

What round are you using?

Just for example, at night, I use Remington Wingmaster HD 3" BB loads. It's a killer. You need a good choke though....I'd stay away from the modified personally. I shoot a aftermarket choke constricted to .670. That's basically a super-full choke. Kick's makes good chokes and if you order right from the factory, test it on paper, and don't like it, you can exchange it for something that works for you....good service IMO.

Do some paper testing on your loads and chokes and you'll see a wide variation. Look for about 12-20 pellets in an 8" circle at 40 yards!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
