Just got back from a quick trip calling at the local beach. I set up on a ridge 230 yards above a rocky beach and started calling with a rabbit squealer. This fox and another came in at the same time. The other one was a silver but I couldn't stay on it to get a good shot. She stopped right at 200yds and caught a 75gr sierra in the ribs. She measured 59" nose to tail. Good night!

I am having blankets made out of the furs. The rifle is a 6ppc and I'm running them subsonic so the exit wounds are the size of a dime. This load has been suprisingly accurate to 200 yds. Any further they get a full 6ppc load. I have a zero for each on my scope. Mostly all cross foxes this year. Thanks for looking.

LOL, the picture makes it look way bigger than it is but it is still a big girl. This one was approx. 22lbs.

Here's everything:
Fox
Brown Bear
River and sea otter
Mountain Goat
Sitka Blacktail deer
Ermine
Snowshoe Hare
Red Squirrel
Beaver
And very very few Caribou and Mink
We also have some free range buffalo and scottish cows. Some are wild as heck but someone "owns" them.
A neighboring island has Roosevelt elk, and another has some feral hogs.
We are somewhat limited on variety but there are plenty of oppertunities. All of my fox so far this year have been taken within 10 minutes of my house and I live just out of city limits.
