I shot one about 4 years ago with my bow and tanned it with a solution. It just hangs on a nail in the shop. I wanted to make something cool with it, but she is so small around, there isn't much I can do. Thought about string silencers, but that seemed wasteful to me. So she hangs for me to remember the day it all went down!

isn't it the other way since gray foxes are native and reds are from Europe???

Pappy, knowing the rules is a good way to stay out of trouble ;D.

Tim, I asked FWC the same question when we had a major problem with them killing all of the ducks and chickens on some property I used to manage. I told them how about I trap them and dump them over the fence at their Central Florida Main office instead? They weren't amused. ;D

     Nice hide Roger!  yeah, the Florida Game and fish commission, is like the Montana Game, fish, and parks commission.  Not real bright, and leaves a lot to be desired, in game management.

Rodger, you did good with your henhouse fox, just got the results from Nafa fur auction in Toronto, $12 for fox, I should have kept everything this yr and sent to the tannery. The fur market is really in the tank. Oh well guess I'll make my fame and fortune in another Hobby ;D :o :oBob
