And then there is this year's additions to the lure conglomeration. One in the pic that is a leftover is Pappy's homemade "Dig it", there in the canning jar:
All things with 4 legs and fur, be warned! We're coming for you....
So, with the first round of prep done, Sarah and I headed out on Sunday with Warren and the dogs (a slight cringe at the mere mention of bringing them along) to scout for sign and maybe get a set or two in close to home, which is all I will likely want to manage for now. So it was off to find the fox...
First up, we saw this guy as soon as we got down to the river:
I asked him if he had seen any fox come through here, but he wasn't talkin'....
He didn't have to though in the end. The snow told the story.
This was a spot that was simply MADE for a snowhole/post set combo. Tune in later for a double from this spot...provided we don't get more snow that covers it...
Check out these examples of them using objects that stand out for a post. They can't resist 'em...
See the pee?... :)
Another example:
You just gotta love fox when they do what they do. Smart as they are, it is nice to see some of them, at least, doing predictable stuff. Because, when they are on the stretching boards, the "dumb" ones look the same as the "smart" ones...
I got my two sets out after all. This go round I chose two objects they were focusing on - (1) was a cluster of saplings tucked in to a corner of rock, and (2) was the rootwad end of a downed log protruding from the snow. Normally I would make a double with one bait or lure/curiosity set and one post set, but this time went with two bait sets.
The snowhole at the cluster of trees:
make 'em work for it... :)
And the rootwad set:
We'll see what happens....
All in all, it was a great day to be out with the family. Now we just need to find the time for more of those...
