I started seeing a coyote a couple years ago that looked exactly like a big red fox. We saw it a couple of times this season, in fact Mason saw it first and told me there was a big fox coming until he saw the two other coyotes with it. I saw it a total of three times this bow season. I've been hoping to kill it since I first saw it years ago, and had a couple of close calls with it while bowhunting.
Well, I finally caught that sucker today! I went up to pull my snares due to muzzleloader season, and not wanting to have to check them while others may be hunting. I had a couple of close-misses, and caught just one on the 8 snares I had out...but danged if it wasn't one I really wanted to get!
I'll get serious about snagging more yotes around the first of February. Hoping for more snow as it really seems to make catching them a little easier, or at least setting up in the right spots. It will all be anticlimatic at this point, having killed the one I really wanted already, but it's part of what we can all do to protect our fawns.
