    The Highlight of My Day Today

    Went to Wimberley for an AM & PM hunt--winds were wrong but I sat the lower stand this morning anyway. Had a doe headed in from the 10 o'clock position, but when she hit my scent stream she did an about face and left. Had a grey fox pair come in--one under the feeder and the other on one of the hand-corn piles. Fun watching them and beautiful coloration--but, my camera was in the truck.

    The evening hunt was a bit different--winds were right for the upper stand although it was uncomfortably hot--with the sun rignt in my face until about 6:10. Feeder spun at 6 and about 2 minutes later I heard a squirrel start barking out past the feeder, so I got ready, thinking it could be a deer--nope, another grey fox. Watched him eat corn, catch grasshoppers, etc. and then heard the deer coming from behind me--ended up with a small doe and twins plus a young (1.5 y.o.) 5-pt in front of me for about 30 minutes. I didn't shoot as they were just too small--

    Here's my highlight--remembered my camera.

            I've seen 3 while hunting in my life. Beautiful animals. Didn't shoot at all, wish I had taken pictures like you did. Great picture.

                    I've seen a few more, but 3 in one day--even though the one in the picture may be one of the morning visitiors, was a highlight. Had it sitting lika a dog, onits haunches watching something, and just as I pressed the shutter button, it leaped at a grasshopper, and all I got was from its shoulders back--

                          Are they legal to shoot? I know they reek havoc on quail and turkey

                            Legal to shoot---

                            Here's the "one that got away" that I was getting ready to take a picture of it sitting just like a dog sits, and as I pushed the shutter button, the fox decided the grasshopper over there needed eating--

                              I had 4 come to the feeder a couple weeks ago they are really cool little animals. I did shoot one and he's at the taxidermist now.
