Got two more Grays last night!

[Grayfox]

Went out earlier than usual last night to try and beat the storm that was approaching and managed to get in 6 sets and bring home a little fur.

1st set: Nothing

2nd set: We called a little clearing on the edge of a big spruce swamp and had one do a fly by and never stopped long enough for a shot.

3rd set: Mitch was watching another small clearing and I was on his downwind side on the other side of a logging road. I heard him shoot and a squeel. I went over and picked up the track. I tried to catch up to it but only managed to get soaked with sweat after the 3/8 mile jaunt. It ended up going into a den and I wasn't able to retrieve it. I'm going to run back out after the storm stops and see if we can't get it out.

4th set: Set up in a sparse oak ridge with thick spruce 40 yards to the North and had this female run in after 6 minutes of bird distress and stop for a shot. Another nice female and #3 for the year.

5th set: Set up in a clear cut with thick brush to the West,pond to the North and pines to the East. Mitch was standing 10 yards to my left. I just started the call and see this female come running from the pines and stop 5 yards downwind of the call. I tried to stop it as it was coming but couldn't and hit it a little hard. My fourth on the year. The wind had picked up quite a bit and I don't think she ever heard us park and walk in.

6th set: Nothing and then the snow started to fall so we called it a night.

Awesome. Keep the reports coming. Reading your threads has gotten me interested in trying to hunt some yotes. Nice job.

Those look like large grays. How much do you think they are going to be worth when sold? I find it frustrating to hear price for a fur, is more than I got. How do you get the most money for our furs?

[Grayfox]

jigginjim,

I'm getting $15 each for the fox, on the carcass. Only $10 for skun coyotes with good fur. We don't hunt and trap for the money but it's nice to get a little back to cover shells,etc. If anybody's doing better on prices please post up. Thanks.

Oh, that isn't me. I was just posting some fur prices since grayfox mention posting some prices for furs. The business of the fur prices I posted is called "Browtine Skulls and fur". You can find him on the web. He does have prices for displays.
