Default Red Fox?

Not Mr. Sanford of TV fame.

Do you guys think a Red Fox would have ill effects on your hunt? If he used the deer trail 10 minutes before prime time?

Thanks, LT

None whatsoever. I've seen them on the same trail within 5 minutes of each other, about 4-5 years ago.

I could have shot the little bugger with my bow, but opted not too because of spooking deer. I have already taken one with my bow, but this was a bigger fox. Beautiful. If I had the funds to throw away for a mount I would have taken him maybe.

I don't think It makes a difference LT. Not to long ago my brother got a couple of red fox on his cuddeback and about 20 minutes later some doe's and fawns came through also.

Do a soft tanned hide...Beautiful and MUCH cheaper. I'd have shot if I was you, Im looking for a fox with my gun, much less a bow.[8D]

And 2 racoons, Steve.

First light and they were all there, together. I never thought much about the does (4-5 of them), but I thought the coons would be afraid of the fox (at first....then it took about 1 second to think better of that).....lol. Everybody kinda held their ground, though....and the fox was the first to split.

Funniest one was the Hawk/Squirrel standoff a couple weeks ago at a distance of.....ohhhh....about 6 INCHES.
