Edge Report post Posted September 19, 2014 Just about anything is liable to come in to a predator call, critters being curious and all. Found a new spot west of the valley and I spent about an hour at my stand before calling. But within a few minutes of calling, I could hear a creature stumbling clumsily in from a wash below. Took him sometime to get there but he eventually arrived to within a few feet of me and then stared at me the entire time I was there. He thought I was performing a concert just for him. I wanted to dig my camera out but figured he wasn't going anywhere soon. Just then a grey fox ran in from my right flank and stopped 8' in front of me. He was puffing and panting and trying to figure me out. A moment later he started to leave while still looking at me and he stumbled right into my new friend. Once he realized that wasn't a rock he just stepped on, the fox leaped 3' vertically. Sometimes I'm torn between holding a gun and holding a camera. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted September 19, 2014 Some people might declare BS, but I swear that little guy made a heck of an effort to get to where he could see me. It was steep and rocky but he made it and managed a smile. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted September 20, 2014 That is amazing you called one in! Too cool. They are out in force lately. I have seen 8 before in the wild over about 30 years. The past two weeks, I have seen 6!!! Pulled this guy out of the middle of the fast lane while heading up to Laughlin for work, about a mile south of Nothing. This guy was just chugging along across the road, He actually walked right up to me to get in my shadow for a rest. This one was about a mile away from the second one, same day. Same thing, walked right up to me and stopped in my shadow. Another one, about 3 miles from the last two, cruising the road. The same day as #3, I saw this smaller one. Then this guy on Thursday. He came up to see what I was holding. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
