Summertime calling

Recommended Posts

When my father and I went up north around the Fourth of July, I was able to do a couple sets and on my second/last set I was successful in harvesting this coyote. First coyote with my Mossberg MVP, first time shooting off our new Easton shooting stocks as well. Never killed anything in Nikes either! Haha

I had lots of trouble getting anything(coyotes) to come in around Tucson. Yesterday, August 1st, I got my buddy Reyes to come out. We did a couple sets on the flats looking for coyotes, but it got too hot and we decided to get to higher elevations and possibly call in a fox. On the second stand, I missed a fox with the MVP. Reyes wanted to do one more stand. I had him pick out a wash he liked, he picked a shady one. "If I were a fox, this is where I would want to be" is what he said. I told him when we sat down that this stand was "all him" because everything was within range for the shotgun. ~2 minutes in, I heard a branch break up on the hill to our right, I knew that was a sign. Not 10 seconds later, I see a fox go across that same hill. I told Reyes to get ready and that they are coming. The fox circled UPWIND and stopped. Reyes could see the fox on the other side of the Foxpro. I had my phone on my lap ready to record. I put it up and the fox started running in. I kept telling him to wait, as soon as the fox got to 30 yard I said, shoot him. He did. Reyes' 2nd grey fox.

Our summer is over and now we must go back to school. My family has 3 deer tags, and many friends do as well. It should be a busy fall. Good luck to all.

You'd better check your AZ G&F regulations on when you can hunt gray foxes in Arizona.

He clearly states yesterday, August 1st, check the regs yourself. Lol

 

Good job, Patrick.
