Hey Huntingsucks1; first of allyou need to learn to spell buddy! Second the truth is animals in the wild that are harvested for food live a much better life, and have a much better death than do those who end of in you local grocery.

Not a fox, but a predator nonetheless. Spitfire 100, BowTech bow.

Cool, I have yet to see a bobcat in the wild. The numbers are growing here in IA but still protected and no season. We are getting a lot of mountain lion sightings over the last few years in IA. Had a customer claim to see one the other day. They are here as one was shot a deer season ago and another was hit by a car a couple of years ago. Anyway, great shot on the cat. The DNR has not made it illegal yet to shoot a mountain lion and I would love to have one walk under my treestand and send an arrow thrugh it or call one in when I am doing coyote sets. He would go on my wall for sure. I would let the anti-hunter here have the meat:D

I guess the hippie got scared or something...too bad, I was looking forward to some more replies from it.

Great looking fox, and great shot.

As for the huntingsucks guy, I am glad only a small percentage of the world is as ignorant as you are.

Nice Fox...

I had to chuckle at the Anti-hunter post... So it's okay to get meat that the store which the animal has no chance of survival, but not okay to hunt with a wild animal with a bow,on a fair chase hunt. Haha.. talk about making no sense. Haha

Hardcore.....NICE fox....I've been hoping to get one of those myself. They run under my ladder stand sometimes during deer season. I've always let them pass.....afraid I will be messing with the fox and a big ol buck will come along. Did get a nice bob cat last fall though. Good job.

I don't shoot foxes, but that's just me. My hunting partners all do. I enjoy watching them. I guess it's part of my, "if I can't eat it I don't shoot it". Although, that theory was put to the test when I was a kid and shot 10,000 tweets.[8D]


I've had cats within 15 yards twice in my years of bowhunting. Just enjoyed watching them do their thing. I've had coyotes close a couple times. I do shoot them and don't eat 'em. One time they did a back flip and exited stage left when I tried to draw. The other time my release was screwed up and I didn't know it. I went to draw back on a coyote at 20 yards. I got drawn about 10 inches and the dang release let go.... and I had my finger behind the trigger pushing like I always do. The arrow took off and fell harmlessly to the ground about 10 feet from my stand. I thought at the time I'd done something wrong until that evening the same thing happened with a buck at 12 yards.

My brother and the 3 guys he hunts coyotes with got 67 of them this year with the guns and dogs. They got 92 a couple years ago. This is in the Adirondacks... tough hunting.

Very nice. We dont see many foxes here in Texas. I do see the occasional grey, and every now and then a red. But never been close enough to get a shot. Here is what we see under our stands most of the time.:D

I don't shoot them here in IA either; just coyotes. Foxes are just not plentiful here like years ago.
