CountryD7127 Report post Posted April 7, 2012 me and a buddy was up in unit 21 bac in Feb this year huntin for coyotes using a FoxPro spitfire and a mojo critter.....on the second stand we called in a decent size coyote and my buddy took a shot at him at about 200 yards missing with his 22.250(which he swears by.lol) after a few more stands we came up to a canyon that looked like the grand canyon.....from where we were it was about 600-700 ft to the bottom.....we left the guns in the jeep to take some pics cuz it was new country to me......well i told him to start calling due to the fact that there was no way to get down there.....I figured something would come in and we could smoke it.......well after about 3 or 4 minutes of calling, i look to my right and there was a fox just staring at me about 10 feet away and about 15 ft down......i ran back to the jeep to get my AR-15 and when i got back he was on the run......seemed like he was skirting the canyon side trying to scome up to the call......i pulled up my AR, put the cross hair of my bushnell on him and with one shot he screamed out and fell about 40 ft down.......I was a bitter sweet moment due to the fact he was 40-50 feet below up and it was a straight cliff.... i had just recovered from knee surgery and could do the climb so i asked my buddy if would get it.....we tied some rope around his waist and hoisted him down.......all i could think is if he fell off the cliff, we were screwed.......but all in all he got my fox for me, i pulled him back up and the day way done....thats a true hunting buddy....to put your life in someone else's hands and recover their predator for them.....awesome.....
