He e<.:boes some thoughts I have had for a number of years regarJ ing the effective limitations of bows and the moral ohligation howhunters have to both quarry and public. Nothing is more pathetic than happening upon the spoiled carcass of an animal in the wooJs that had been wounded and lost. Personally, the feel ing is compounded when the animal is a bow kill. I join with Mr. Kittredge in hoping that more bowhunters will work for the closer shot or not shoot at all. Dennis Lattery, Anchorage, Alaska MINIMUM DRAW A note to explain the reason for the forty-pound minimum draw weight in the State of Washington: It is felt that a forty-pound how, with properly Only matc11ed arrows and razor-sharp broad heads that can he handled properly and efficiently, is a better combination $29.95 that fifty pounds and "struggle."

This one was called in with lip squeak, raised on his back legs in range. stopped to watch and saw the olive blur of Gary's arrow pass just under his uose! That was it. The fox streaked out of our company as only a red fox can. On other hunts, red foxes have showu similar oehavior by approaching my calling as though they couldu't care less about hurrying in to a free lunch. It's difficull to under stand such action by a normally hyper, ever-alert varmint like the red fox_ Reds will charge an imitation rabbit distress cry occasionally, like their gray cousins. Unlike grays, however, red foxes will rarely stop in front of your position once they've gained the momentum for a blitz. I_ fell victim to such a charge once, during a jam session on Iowa's vast public hunting ground surrounding the Coralville Reservoir in eastern Iowa.

He'd revved his powerful running gears to the red line by the time he'd crossed the twenty-yard line and neither of our arrows touched him. To further insult us, the red tossed a couple of hip fakes and shot right between our hiding places! He hardly missed a stride. The only weather factor I ever conside1 before a calling session is the wind velocity. High winds make calliug foxes difficult. Your call sounds won't carry well against stiff breezes and both. red and gray foxes seem more spooky under such conditious. Even when wind velocity falls with in acceptable limits, it's always wise to keep your eyes peeled for foxes approaching downwind of your call. Use the flanker system I've described for best results on circliug red foxes. Doran Whitlock and I were watching a red fox circle my calling on one successful hunt. I'd cut to a lip squeak early to bring the red devil in close, but he turned, at the last moment, to check for scent downwind of us. Tall grass obscured all but the fox's head and I let go with a frantic series of squeaks to stop him before he reached our scent stream. Whit was ready at full draw when the re(1 stopped for a look. A perfect strike between the eyes dropped him instantly. You may as well try a shot at circling red foxes at your first opportunity, because once they get a few molecules of human odor, they're gone! A liberal sprinkling of deer scent or skunk essence will help, but it's better to call from a spot that places undesirable avenues of approach, such as open fields, downwind of you. Many times, you can force a red to approach crosswind and right into your waiting bow_ I'll tip my hat to the bowhunter who can bag red foxes. It's some trick to arrow one of those sly devils and if it takes me another fifteen years, I'll still be trying lo break the Red Jinx. +ti 40 41 Ben Pearson bows and accessories are the finest tools for nature's classroom, with a reputation of unsurpassed quality and accuracy.
