Thanks, Matt. I just checked.....and I couldn't shoot one if I wanted to until after 11/16. I'd most likely NOT have a small BH in my quiver, anywyas.....and the wife says she don't want to see me coming home with one.

I had one bed on an old stump under my tree a few years ago. He curled up and layed his head on his tail. It was one the neatest things I have experienced in the woods. There aren't too many fox around here, so I would rather watch them than shoot them.

However, I don't know about the broadhead ruining it. My dad shot one in Indiana with his bow, had it mounted, and it looked alive.

I did about 18 years ago and the mount still looks good

Never with a bow....but I did shoot one with a gun. They do make great mounts. There's the little guy in the bottom right of the picture.

I picked up a BEAUTIFUL one a few years back that had JUST been hit by a car in January... talk about a full coat!!

I took him to the taxidermist and wanted him mounted standing on a log with a rabbit in his mouth with his head turned back looking at you... My taxidermist just couldn't get the muses flowing when thinking about having to skin all those little rabbit toes out... . I ended up just letting him have the fox... I really wish now I'd at leat done something with him; he'd look GORGEOUS down here in my game room.

killed a couple w/ rifle, never bow. I enjoy hunting them at night in jan when its cold. Theres quite a thrill with being in the woods at night.

I see a lot of foxes while bow hunting. I prefer to try and call them in when I am targeting them in particular. I would sell the fur and I know a Bhead would rip it up.
I would venture to guess shooting foxes illegally in PA has to be one of the most commonly broken laws. Seems like everyone I know has shot one either in bow or gun season. Ask if they have a furtakers, and i've yet to get a postive answer.

Edited
Figured I'd add a little story from this season. I was as close as I;ve ever been to a live fox when one popped from the brush at about 5 FEET. I expected a groundhog, and a little gray popped out. Saw him almost every time I went back to that spot this season.

I usually see Reds every season. This year I haven't yet. I haven't gotten a Fur Bearers license to shoot them in PA and I haven't so it would have been illegal for me to shoot this guy, so I played kissy with him to see if Enigma would spook him, it didn't.

i have shot one with my bow. It was a grey fox out at our woods,shot it quartering towards me and cut it up so bad i wouldnt even think about trying to get it mounted.
