Evening fox.302 viewsWhen this fox came in to the call, the colour of the fur was so close to the colour of the field stubble that it was almost invisible. It took me quite a few seconds to see it after JohnS spotted it. It was our last stand of the day and a great way to end a hunt.

The season just ended. The season just began.18 viewsI put away the predator stuff about two weeks ago and am now out pursuing crows and beavers. This crow was busy picking at something to eat in a stubble field and waited too long to take wing.

Fox from a rock pile.36 viewsIn the background and to the right you can see a rockpile. It was from here that this fox was shot after being spotted from the roadway. A successful stalk and a successful shot. Very satisfying. The third of five animals that day.

Praire dog as laundry...8 viewsThis picture is taken from the far side of a fence. You can't see much for prairie dog hills but they are there. Midway between the fence posts, and close to the ground, you can see a prairie dog hung up on one of the bottom wires--he was originally sitting about a yard from where he's hanging when the bullet struck, and that's where he came down.

Double Beavers336 viewsThis was my first beaver hunt where it was filmed. Got these two beavers with Ken Erickson using my .17HMR. The hunt is featured on the "Hunting with KenC" video on this site. In the film I missed the first shot by about 4" but the next two shots were right on, behind the ears.

One of each from the same stand.34 viewsOn the first stand of the morning in early March I Crit'Rcalled in a fox from the left and a coyote from the right. Bill did the shooting while I did the calling and filming.Mar 11, 2008

Winter face mask26 viewsI was calling on the way home from work one bitterly cold day last week. I put on my warm home-made face mask but condensation quickly fogged my glasses so I had to take it off. I had a fox into the call within two minutes but came downwind so quickly that I couldn't get off a shot--and mostly filmed the tail end as he beat it back to the bush.Feb 25, 2008

A fox and two coyotes55 viewsI had just sniped a fox when about 10 minutes later I spotted a coyote in the field. I snuck in an Crit'RCalled. One of these circled downwind before I shot. I turned around and this other one appeared. A good hunt.Feb 05, 2008

Almost too close63 viewsWent out today solely with the intention to try some stalking. This fellow wandered off before I could get set up but came to the Crit'R Call within a minute. Sooo close that I was afraid to move; had to wait until he'd wandered off about 100 yds before I felt comfortable moving away from the video camera and getting behind the rifle.

Called In and Put to Sleep49 viewsI sat out with two buddies one day and we called in this second fox (the first came, saw, and left before it could be cross-haired). It bounced across the field about 150 yds out before being dropped. I caught the hunt on the video camera.Jan 16, 2008
