I've had a rough start so far. Went out about 8 times so far and tonight is the first night bringing something home. Had a couple close calls but just couldn't get a shot on anything.
Started around 12 (wanted to get out like 830) and was flurrying still. Hit the double cottontail a few times and had a fox barking but wouldn't come in. We hunt off an old striping mine road and have 4-5 spots to set up. Around 130 the snow stopped and we were just packing up to move and I shined the next field quick and saw 2 sets of eyes at ~650yards Hopped in the vehicle and drove down to get a closer look. 2 red fox in the field at 250 yards running away from us. Finally got them to stop at 335yards before entering a patch of woods and I squeezed one off.
Nice head shot. Took a few pictures and drove back down to the main road. Set up on another stand and not even 5 minutes in 2 more came in to another field. It was my buddies turn, hit this one at 157yards.
Saw the 2 that got away with both of our pairs and had another one later in another field but was too far to make an ethical shot. Had 3 coyotes howling around 345 but wouldn't come in so we called it a night.
