Shot Placement on Fox

[Virginia Mike]

Hey Guys,

I appreciate all the advice and conversation in my other post here. I have an awesome property to hunt varmints on with gratitude and excitement from the land owner and I can't wait for tomorrow. I am shooting great 5 shot groups of under 1/2" this morning. My question is the shot placement on foxes. Should I shoot head shots, which I am comfortable and confident doing? Or should I stick to the shot through the vitals? I intend to skin out and tan the hides.

right behind the shoulder just as you would with deer, head shot might create too much damage to pelt.

dont much matter...their head is about as big as their vitals...with a broadside shot, you honestly got 4-5 inches of vertical body....the rest of em is just fur. i couldnt believe it till i skinned my first one monday...tiny little critters...

hitting the bone of the head is sure to make more of a mess unless your shooting a 22lr or 22mag...probably better to stick with vitals with anything else...

Not much bigger than a barn cat with the hide off.Soft target ,easy to kill if you can hit e'm, they go into overdrive when you miss!Harold
