Wow why is fox so high they are easier to kill than bobcats or coyotes. I wouldnt mind hunting this contest after deer season, but alot of our places we cant call during or before deer season. Sounds fun

wow early start for a contest. arent they usually fter deer season

Wish I wasn't busy scouting and getting ready for the deer season or else I'd be there.

Wish I was going to be around, sounds like a good time

I don't know why the fox is so high I'm not the one putting it on; but I know that I have hunted east texas plenty of times and never seen a fox that may be the reason they are so high. But I agree with you mike9582 they are a heck of alot easyer to call in and kill.

I'd be willing to bet that more than one team mails in from Fox country and makes the drive to win this thing hands down with nothing butt foxes.

I'm down for the next one!! This ones just to close to General season. I would love to particpate in this though.

I bet your right txvarminter .

This is just around the corner.

We will be there. Lets try to get a few teams there and make this fun.

Can it be a 2 man team? What is the deadline to enter?

Two man team is fine and I saw on a different forum that mailins had to be in thursday of the week before the hunt.

need an animal limit on coons or that could get ugly lol

might want to let them know that if there is a fur buyer at weigh in, at least one of them NEEDS to have their trappers license in order to sell ANY animals

I just found out that they CANCELD this hunt as of 11:45 this morning.
