Keep your shots within the 100 yard mark. Use a hot hollow point round and shoot "broadside" for the lungs. You won't tear up the pelt. You might get into some cripples beyond 100. Put the best quality glass on the gun that you can affordand be articulate about sighting in. Practice with some cross-sticks in a seated position. It is amazing howwell they work with just a little practice.

i think everyone pretty well understands what your asking now, hahaha, lol , if you go to edit you can delete those

the scope you use will depend on the caliber of firearm and type of terrian you are going to hunt.

Don't bother messing around with the cheap 3/4" .22 scopes put a 1" scope on.Foxes are a soft target so a .22 mag HP will relax them as far as you can hit them within reason.Also avoid 100% aluminum rings that will work themselves loose.Weaver 1" .22 ring 3/8" dovetail mts. are cheap and strong.A combo of aluminum and steel.Never had them shoot loose yet..............Good Luck ..........Harold

All good advice so far. A lot ofpractice is the key.

You need to be aware, that depending on where you are hunting, you may encounter more coyotes than fox, and the use of rimfire weapons on coyotes is a hugely debatable topic.

if all you're hunting is fox sized stuff its fine. debatable is an excellent word for rimfires on coyotes, however it will work. just take your time and pick your shot. if in doubt about your shot, let it walk, hopefully without spooking him and he'll come back and you can get him next time.
