Here in Jersey we are allowed to shoot a Fox before shooting a Deer.Has any one ever shot a Fox while Hunting and if so what did you do with the Fox? Same goes to anyone Fox hunting. Thank You in advance.

I' ve done it, you can get the hide tanned, looks pretty neat, or get a head mount, which looks cool, but seems a little silly to see a snarling fox on the wall, at least to those familiar with foxes, or even get a full body mount. Back before everyone and their brother started putting fox urine on their boots, and the deer didn' t shy away from it, they' d follow us into our stands all the time.
Get a nice red late in the season, you' ll have a beautiful hide to get tanned.
I mounted one when I was thinking about getting into taxidermy, came out OK.
With nobody trapping them, I' d recommend shooting every one you can, they do a number on the quail and such, which aren' t in great shape to begin with

I saw quite a few last year, had one come within ten feet as I was sitting on a rock. I made some stretchers today.Guess next season I' ll try my hand at skinning and selling the pelts. I get Fur-Fish-Game mag and the price of Prime Fox Pelts last year was 30-35 dollars,A few of those could pay for all the licenses ,stamps and permits I buy. As my wife and children also hunt and fish.
