Default RE: -Fox killed, but Which caliber?

You post up a picture of a fox with a huge hole in it. 99% of people that harvest fox use their pelts or sell them. The only reason you posted was to BRAG.

Maybe next time you blow a critter in half you can post up, I shot this critter and I was wondering what a better choice of a cartridge to use so I don't totally wreck the pelt.
Sorry if I offended you, It was not my intention to "brag".The reason why I posted the picture was beacuse I have never experienced this impact on other foxes I've killed using my 30.06 and norma alaska. Usually the bullet just goes right through the fox and leave nothing but a small hole. I assume that if you wanna keep the pelt you could use a smaller caliber, but I do not own any smaller calibers, only bigger. Here in sweden the fox is considered as a serious predator and they prey on pretty much all smaller animals they can get, such asroedeer fawns, forest birds, rabbits. Not many swedish hunters will take the pelt from a fox (or another predator) other than perhaps bear. The reason: Pelt prices is very bad...
