I've done a fair amount of fox hunting over the past 30 years and after shooting them with .22 mag., 22 hornet,.223 and 17 HMR I've come to the conclusion that the best fox caliber is the 12 gauge shotgun choked extra full and loaded with 3" copper plated lead #4's.


I use the shotgun quite a bit, used to be all I used when I started calling. Especially with Greys, they don't stand still long when coming to that Grey Fox Pup in distress. If I was worried about how many I was bringing home I would probably use a shotgun in my area where it isn't very open. I like shooting them with the 17AH though, have to justify the rifle build. grin
