The Beaver is still on!

All thats left before the summers practice shooting and Crow hunts is the Beaver hunt that is open until May 15, i havent had much luck previous season with the Beaver but this year i´ve seen that the Beaver family in my hunting area has expanded so there is a slight chance for me this time.

I´m off for the first hunt in two weeks from now if all goes right so i´ll keep you posted on the progress with the hunting and there will also be some post on my custom calls that are to be made this spring.

Fox season closed!

This fox season closed for me this weekend as i dont get any more time off hunting before 31 March, i managed to complete my goal with this season wich was learning to call a predator and then take it down now i cant wait until next foxseason wich opens August 1:st.

I have the guys on Predatormasters Forum to thank alot for inspiration and also Ulf on the magazine "Svensk Jakt" who really opened my eyes for the call hunt on fox. But none of this would have been possible if Mr.Rich Cronk From Iowa havent sent me one of his cutom calls so thanks alot Rich for the call and the instruction CD.

My first call ready for the stand!!

Now its ready....my first call, i made it

out of a Roedeer antler and it has a

real nice high pitch distress sound.

Got some tips from TonyTebbe about

trimming the reed and thats the last

part now then i am ready for the stand.

Got the parts today!!

So the parts arrived and now its up to me to make them work, i will start assembly the first voices on Tuesday evening and hopefully the day after i´ll go out and get material for the body and reedprotector. I´ve been searching the "for sale" ads. for antlers or horns of any kind but so far nothing of interest has shown up, i will keep you posted on the progress.

Skull mount!

I had to mount the skull of my first "Call in" its a Redfox male

i hope i get the skin good too, well i just let the pictures speak.

Treestand!

The wiew from the treestand from
wich i shot the Redfox from (post below), i hope this pic. can give you a hint of what the countryside were i hunt looks like. The right wiew
picture is missing (sorry).

My first "Call in" Redfox!

This Redfox was called in on Saturday morning as i was sitting in a tree stand some 800 meters from the city dump, a perfect spot as all the garbage attracts rats and birds that the foxes prey on.

When glassing i spotted a fox about 400 meters from were i was sitting and as i started calling it cautiously started coming to me, but after 200 meters it suddenly stopped and looked to the right towards the dump. As i took down the binocular and turned there was another fox coming straight at me almost running from the dump in a snowmobile track it came in on about 70 meters and i took it down with one shot. I did see six foxes that morning but only got a shot at two and missed one of them, but as it is my first time to "call in" im satisfied with the result and the season is just in its beginning.
