I was out again today and a neat thing happened...
At 4:10 PM, a red fox began barking at my Foxpro woodpecker. He was located in a woodlot hill next to the gravel pit that I was calling. I saw him approx 250 yds away. He then curled up and slept for 40 minutes! I watched him through the scope the entire time. I did not want to take the shot, because I do not know where my .223 would hit and I have not missed yet this year. I thought about stalking him, but figured I'd wait and see what happens when he awakes. Well, he awoke at 4:50 and started barking again ( I now call him "three bark"). He wandered off and that was that. Soon it was dark and I continued to call the area. After 1/2 hour, guess who I hear? Good old "three bark" is making his way across the wood ridge away from me. No shots tonite and, hence, no pics. Perhaps, I'll run into "three bark" later this week
Here is a better pic of the 2 red fox
