On a side note the facial hair makes you look much tougher!
Prime Fur Down...
Figured I would share a picture from a semi successful hunt.
First I called in a grey fox and it stayed on the skyline and never presented a safe shot. Strike one!
Next, I called a grey into 25 yards and I couldn't seal the deal before it got my wind. I had neck surgery and I am definitely not on my game lol. Strike two!
I then called a coyote triple that was only 90 yards away on my upwind side but, was just over the property line where I don't have permission to hunt. They wouldn't budge. Talk about painful having three coyotes in a line staring at you and the shot can't be legally taken. Strike three!!!!!!
I did manage to finally connect on a nice red fox at 41 paces. A tough hunt for sure but persistence paid off some in the end. Anyways here is picture for those who like them. Good luck to you all.

That ain't facial hair, that's coyote fur. I can't seem to convince anyone he calls 'em in THAT close!!beagler said:![]()

Keating,
Here is a picture for you. I snapped this from a video that I made for one of my seminar presentations. This red fox is 5 feet from my boots. I am burning due to filming but it was proper lighting/calling techniques that get them on in close on a consistent basis. When the shots are much closer the monopod just shines all the more since it would obviously be steady enough to shoot. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.

Keating,
Here is my daytime set up. I practice this way each season to make sure I can perform at crunch time. Notice no monopod. They are not as steady and I don't like mine past 200 yards. With the shooting sticks I am more accurate out to much farther distances. Basically, remember that we are all different and shoot all kinds of ways to get the job done. I have my own opinions which I have tested extensively over the years and this is what works for me season after season. Good luck with whatever method you choose. Practice, know your rifle and make it count when its go time. Shoot straight. Time to get my gear ready.

Snapper,
Yes I hunt state, private and for that matter federal land when I hunt out of state. Predators inhabit are game lands. Much more than I think people realize. If predators are there then so am I. It don't matter to me what name is placed on it just the conditioning of the critters is what makes me think out of the box some.
Mark,
Good to see you around sir. Its been a great season and if I keep going the way I am it will be my personal best since I started. I hope you are still out there after them on your end as well.
J. Weber don't be contributing to giving me a big head lol. You know I can't shoot for beans and I have all my predators given to me for photos lol. On a side note the Allegheny sport show is cancelled until 2014. I am sure you got the email. No seminar for me. Hmmm wonder what I will do with my weekend from speaking off. lol.
