Red Fox

Red Fox - 12/28/10 04:48 PM

I've seen several red foxes over the years and I always said if I ever shot one I would get it mounted. Well today was that day.

So my question is should I drop the extra money for a full body mount or just have him skinned and make a wall mount?


not what I was after but it definately made up for a slow duck hunt

They are so purty, it will be worth the extra money. Get him mounted for sure.

TxKiller thanks for the advice. The taxi said he had some pictures I could look at cause I had no idea what pose would look the best.

All I have to do now is convince the wife thats its worth it!

I shot it in the Nacogdoches area in East Texas

Definitely a trophy for a Texas hunter. I'd get a full body mount, standing up, with 3 feet on the ground and 1 in up like he's taking a step. Head turned to one side

It's the first one I've seen but I just moved down here last year. I was so shocked when I saw him that I almost forgot I had a gun and could shoot him.

I used to catch them in winter up north when the fur was full and pretty. Used to get a pretty penny for them too.

My wife never ceases to amaze me. I show her the picture and the first words out of her mouth are "you're gonna get it mounted right". I Love her!
