The Fox

Well it has become time to cull some foxes. I did shoot my first this evening. I had previous opportunities, but had never taken the shot. This time I did. Clean kill. A very pretty animal and healthy. I hated having to do so, but there are too many in the area and this one has been hanging too close to the house for quite a while. I used the shotgun as I had trouble with the scope of the .22 in the dark on the two previous times I attempted the shot.

I really miss the Roadrunner that used to come up to the house and peck on the window. It was scary at first as he was loud and we weren't used to it. It was comical after a while. I suspect the fox got him or scared him away. Hopefully he will return now.
