Second stand, five coyotes come at me at once. They are about 350 yds out, coming in a ragged line, across an alfalfa field. I maintain until they are about 125 to 150 yds, then drop one. The others scatter, and after they stop, I give a puppy distress, and one comes charging back in. I drop him at about 100 yds. I try puppy distress again, and the first coyote gets up, and runs off. The others clear out. I find lots of blood, and follow the track for about half a mile....blood stops, coyote keeps going into private property. DANG, I hate when that happens.
I look around for stragglers for a while, saw nothing, and head up the road. I drive about four miles, to my next hunting area, and there is this fox. He trots off into a stubble field, and I go up a shallow gully, parallel to his line of travel. After about 150 yds. I stop, and give a weak, rabbit distress. He comes running in about ten seconds, can't stop him, even though I bark, squeak, cuss, he keeps coming. I'm shooting a .222 Rem, with Hornady 50 gr V-Max. I'm concerned about pelt damage. He finally stops about 100 feet away. He is facing me, but not directly. I put the crosshairs right on the point of his shoulder, and fire. He's down, and when I rolled him over....no exit wound! YAY!
Don't know how many of you have had five show up at once, but it's difficult to maintain, under those circumstances....at least for me. I had all five at once, in my field of view in my scope. I picked the one that looked the oldest...his ears stuck out to the sides, like a lop-eared rabbit, he looked a bit like that Yoda character, from Star Wars. He was big, too. Hate to wound an animal, but it happens. That's a small target, when they are facing you. Need to focus better.

What the hell are you talking about? Fox hunting is perfectly legal in most of the state. Here is the info direct from the regs:
Fox: Daily bag limit- none
Season: Statewide Sept 1-March 15.
Closed within the exterior boundries of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, Okanogan, Wenatchee, and Gifford Pinchot Ntnl Forest and GMUs 407 and 410.
Make sure you know what you are talking about before you run your mouth.
Great hunt by the way!
