Looks like you have paid for your FoxPro with one animal, thats of course if you deside to sell him and didn't damage the fur too much! Very nice looking looking blue back.

Man I am jealous. I got my FX5 in the mail Monday, and i haven't even used it yet and won't until next weekend at the earliest . Work sucks right now. Over 90 hours this week! Congrats on the cat What sounds did you use?

thanks everyone.

 

i was using a cottontail distress, and he came running. it was one of the coolest things i've seen in the woods. i mangled his belly, but plan on a return on investment with the next couple of cats i get. anyone know a good resource on how to take care of the fur once you get it, if you're planning to sell it?

 

the rifle's a .25-06 (a bit of overkill i know, i plan to get a .17 soon)

 

oh yeah, the snow is melting fast in springerville and the lower areas. I was surprised to find it patchy at best when I got there, I expected more.

jay,

Just curious, how much calling had you done prior to purchasing the electronic caller? Is this something new for you, or have you been calling a long time and just decided to try the ecaller?

PS....have you been up to Alpine lately? What does the snow level look like up there?????

i started calling with a zepps jackrabbit distress call in september. i called in several coyotes and a gray fox, but really had my heart set on shooting cats. i wanted the caller so i could position myself away from the source of the call to keep myself from being seen so easily.

 

I haven't been up to alpine, i was headed that direction when i shot that cat, but saw something (i'm assuming it was this cat) cross the road in front of me before i got to nelsons. i assume there's still plenty of snow in the shade up there, but it is melting quick.

Ditto on the above, and i just got the DVD "Predator Obsession 2" and they show a step by step process on how to skin a cat to sell the fur. It really helped me understand to have a visual like that, plus it's a dang good coyote/bobcat video to boot.
