Default Bowhunting a fox

I have a beautiful red fox that I have seen on several occasions on one of my leased properties. He/she has been seen on several trailcams and today I was able towatch him with my binoculars for about 20 minutes. This red fox would make an awesome mount for my hunting room.

I went to my states hunting season section to check when or if there was a season, and this is what it says: Do you interpret the regulations the way I do? A bow is not considered a firearm, so it seems to me that it is open season. I am not in any of the county exclusions.
