WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted March 6, 2013 Reading rbryants post and having some down time I decide to share a picture of the fox I killed with a bow. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of calling and shooting quite a few but this is only my 2nd with a bow. I can't find the picture of the first a few years ago. Anyway I thought he had some pretty good color. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 Congratulations on the bow kill. They are pretty small to hit and now you have two under your belt. Several years ago I called 2 in while trying to call pigs and shot one with my bow as well. The second one wouldn't leave and kept barking at the one I killed. I swore I would never kill another. It got to my soft spot. Nothing wrong you killing one for sure but I've become a softy in my older years. Thanks for sharing. TJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Santana Outdoors Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Awesome, thanks for sharing. They are small targets no doubt, I tried hitting a bobcat with my bow a few years ago. He was around 40 yards and all I could see was his ears moving in the tall grass. I buzzed his head, arrow went right between his ears. He jumped about 2 feet in the air and made a beeline. Cracked me up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StickFlicker Report post Posted June 10, 2013 If you are interested, the Bowhunting in Arizona record book has a page dedicated to list those that have taken a fox with a bow (as well as a page on coyotes and one on bobcats). The book currently shows less than 40 bowhunters that have entered a fox to the book. If you are interested in listing yours (shows hunter's name and year taken), contact me for entry information. It just requires you to fill out a Fair Chase Affidavit and mail with a check for the $20 recording fee and a photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
