I hunted redfox with a shot gun quite a bit. Matter of fact I believe before this club was started most people hunted with a shot gun.
 Everybody thought the big thing was the over and under to help fill the need. I never went down that road and just went to the rifle or carried a shot gun. Today in the woods hunting coyotes there are time i wished i carried a shot gun.
 That 40 yard shot can take a wile to get a redfox sometimes.
Seen a lot shot at and not gotten by people that thought they were close enough including my self.
Grayfox a shot gun can be pretty deadly in the woods.
But I stick to rifles, it upsets me to see something at 60 yards and I can not shoot with a shot gun.
I also learnt that I needed more precision type shooting methods if I wanted to shoot farther then 40 yards.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

I've shot gunned a few fox in my lifetime.  It's quite a rush to watch in total anticipation that fox getting closer and closer.  Then when it finally closes that distance to where you can take a shot, it's one heck of a rush !!

It was not that many years ago some people though my shooting red fox at long distance was not even hunting. People called me out on it more then once. Amazing how things change.
