I seem to be followed by mangy and that sucks big time as this Red were in a very good size and taxidermist material, i need a wallhanger from this season too but so far only mangy and small summer pelts have bit the dust.Anyway here´s the story of how to spend a good morning......
Saturday 05:30
You get out of bed before sunrise and when you walk outside you are the first to make new tracks in the snow that fell overnight. Then you drive out in the hunting area and start to track in the new snow, i got up on a ridge an found fresh fox tracks in the side of an small road.I made a loop around not to spread to much sent and sat down at the edge on a rather big clearcutting and started too call. The wind were pretty strong blowning in from the north so i thought i´d try some open reeders to get out a bit as the tracks were probably 6-700 yards away.I started off with my TT cowtip distress call wich also were the only one i needed as the fox came running along the same side of the clearcutting as i was sitting on and i saw it coming in so i dropped the call and got the rifle ready as the fox dissapered for 5 sec behind a big rock and when he popped out on the other side i dropped him at 20 yards.
Thanks for looking!!
