This photo will probably be very slow to load. Although I converted it to JPG, it is scanned from an old photo, and is a large file. In the early 1960s, I bought my first electronic call, a Johnny Stewart with 45-rpm records. I had found an active fox den while groundhog hunting a few miles from home, which was east-central Illinois at that time. Slipping quietly to about a couple hundred yards of the den, I got behind a large downed log, using it for a rifle rest, and turned on the squalling rabbit. In only about a minute here it came at a fast trot. I was surprised, ... amazed, at the quick responce. Leveling the rifle, a military action and barrel converted to 220 Swift and topped with a Weaver K-6 with a Litchert 12X attachment, I held on the fox as it came closer, closer, ... TOO CLOSE! [Linked Image] I whistled in a desperate attempt to stop it from coming closer, and it stopped. I could barely see both of the fox's eyes within the scope's field of view, and touched the trigger. The fox was definitely devastated by the Hornady SX bullet [Linked Image] , which was moving only slightly slower than the velocity at which I had discovered that they would disappear on the way to the target. The fox was 8 paces from the muzzle. [Linked Image] And I was hooked by varmint calling, for a lifetime.
