Just got back from being out hunting with my oldest son. Good night calling and we got a nice gray fox. Made 7 stands 1st stand nothing , 2nd stand was useing the gray fox pup and about 1 min. in seen eyes out about 50 yards. bulb squeaked and it came in running to about 15 yrs. and stopped. My son and myself both shot at the same time he had a shot gun and i was using the 22 mag. 1 dead fox. 3rd stand nothing , 4th stand was using one of Ernies   calls making a rabbit distress seen 2 maybe 3 different sets of eyes but neither one of us could get a shot. 5th stand seen eyes out about 40 yards bulb squeaked and it started in came at an angle about 25 yards out I lite it up and the boy shot . Missed it another gray.   :cry:  6th and 7th stands nothing. http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/420/dscn2130kc3.jpg

Congrats on the gray!  It was real windy where my wife and I hunted last night.  After 5 stands, she says "Why are you only playing the call 1/2 the volume you usually do?"  I say "Honey, I'm playing the call at full volume, which is TWICE the volume I usually do"  We were hunting in 10 to 15 mph winds with gusts up to 25.  We decided to call it a night and try again tonight (calling for only 2 mph winds!)

I'm hoping they like lemonade, because I don't have any fruity beer.  I'll let you know what tonight brings.   :mrgreen:
