Well guys, with about 3'' of fresh powder I decided to go out this evening where i know a couple cats have been hanging around.
I noticed some tracks in the snow, that where snowed in, but i snow started around 5 this morning and quit about 11 am. So i figured something was close by. After about 20 minutes into the stand, i catch movement straight out in front of me. Im looking and think its a cat. He comes about another 20 yards, and Nope! Its a nice little gray fox. So i pick the Benelli up, and at this point hes around 50 yards. Look down the barrel, and it is completely snow covered, I cant see the sight or the end of the barrel. So i wipe the end of it off, he stops. Im thinking oh no. But he is dead set on eating my woodpecker decoy, and comes with in 5 yards of it when i feed him some #4 turkey load. About 30 yards from me. So he hits the brush. Start tracking him and no blood, but there he laid about 30 yards from where i shot him. Nice pretty thick fur... Gray fox down.......
