Grey Fox hunting
Just got in a bit of night calling in Texas and did OK...
For you fur takers, the McFlame rifle is a .223ai, 1 in 8 twist, shooting a slow version of the 60 gr Nosler BT...about 2650 fps. I have found this to be generally 'fur friendly'...
The blue LVSF is a .222 shooting basic Hornady 50 grain SP....turned out to be pretty easy on fur too...


A nice big male..



A couple stands procduced triples...




There were quite a few others, singles and doubles, so it was a pretty enjoyable hunt. Thanks for looking!

Nice, DNR instituted a grey fox study this year in Ohio because of declining numbers. I have never seen one in 40 years. On an up note did see my first badger. Good shootin

What part of texas did you hunt...I have hunted most of my life in the Big Bend area, The grey fox there is called the LLanero (sp?) and they are abundant..Trapped them also..In the 70s fur was high dollar, we ran traps at the ranch and hunted them at night with a red Q beam light, half grow jack rabbit or full grown cotton tail calls..also a woodpecker call worked as did the baby kitten call..I liked the 222, and a 12 ga. with no. 2 shot to back it up on the closer ones..Hunted mostly South of Marathon and North of Ft. Stockton..Lots of coyotes, bobcats, and foxes and I got one lion in a lifetime of night calling, that was dumb luck for sure. Had another Lion come in but never got close or presented a shot..
