Axe Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 SL and myself were out on Tuesday and found this fox had walked in to my attempts of using the André Georgescu fox whistle. We made our way to a safe shooting point to find the fox running back. We gave another whistle and the fox stopped turned and ran back towards us. He got to around 130-150 yards, stopped turned and started to move away again. Another whistle and he stopped turned to look back and SL took care of it. I'll let him fill in the techy details.

Axe Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Axe are you guys sure that's not an old fox you are keeping in the frezzer just to use for post every now and then Good one lads It was a cold night to be sure but not enough to make this one look like its thawing out. We did take additional pics of the exit channel, but I have declined to show it as it was rather graphic! We were pretty surprised at the damage the Sierra Match SP I think SL said 59 grain home load, had done. After closer inspection with a knife, we found what was left of the heart and lung.
