Tuesdaynight live!!

Johan and i headed out Tuesdaynight for some calling and we had decided a stand were i shot a Redfox last Friday night as i saw another one that night. When we left the car we walked just 40 yards down the fields when i saw a black figure in the snow 70 yards off the path we walked. I was carrying my Wingmaster and Johan his CZ .22 Hornet so he looked through his scope and i was confirmed a Redfox sleeping after dinner.Johan said he could take it if it got up so i threw away two or three mouse squeeks with my lips and the Redfox sat up looking our way, -Take him now, i said to Johan and a light bang was heard across the fields and the Red dropped back into sleep....eternal this time......We did some calling at this spot also but no connection so i figure this was the one i saw the other night when i was in that area.

Thanks!!

First calling stand 2010



I´ve been experimenting with sounds and different calls to get a great bird-distress sound for Reds, i took my seasons first calling stand on the night Friday to Saturday as the weather finnaly got a bit warmer and had been seeing alot of foxtrax in the snow at this location.

Headed out just before midnight and got set up, as i started to call i saw a fox coming out of some brush 500 yards away and he sat for a while listening then he layed down and just wouldnt budge. I kept an eye on him through my scope as i continued to call for another 15 min.

All of a sudden i got to think something was wrong and i turned my head around and 150 yards out the other way a fox came jumping in through the snow and i didnt get him to stop jumping until he was 20 yds away and i got the shot he dropped in his tracks but the fox out on 500 yards sneeked down in a ditch and left the way he got in.....


I was using my bitereed call i bought from Steve (SDHowler).....Awesome!!
