[QUOTE="Diffydoc, post: 737172, member: 56144"] Mornin! This is my first post so I will tell about me first and then about the first fox this year. :D I live in Western Colorado, I have been reloading and refining my 'yote' gun for years and have it pretty well dialed in. I shoot a 22-250 Rem. 788. Where I live we have lots of yotes and lots of opportunities to call and hunt. Yesterday mornin at first light I am looking around.....:D like every morning and I notice this red fox mousing around my center fence line. He was at 400yds. I got my 250 from the gun safe and went to my favorite rest. I shoot from my back porch almost daily so this fox at 400 was no real big deal. I shoot him and he drops as expected.....but then he gets up and tries to run, but can't. He dies after a 2 or 3 min of trying to run.
