Good to see someone else making the same error, but even better to hear the experience resulted in the same anomaly.Rugged_Randy wrote:There is some kind of bug at Arctic Fox. Has happened to me couple times, one was with .357 and other .223. Same thing, I shot the fox even saw bullet hole on it but it just stood there until I took second shot closer. I don't know if it's when shot comes from certain angle, distance or what that caused it.DanthemanBoone wrote:LOL I don't think there was any bug .That fox should have been buggered ... But he wasn't.
I must be getting too old for this game. Made the same mistake with a Dall ram ... and he definitely didnt argue.

Re: One tough fox.
Believe me. Shooting in the forests or from a stand under 70 metres, the 12g slug is the BOSS . Not only that , its the cheapest.BCKidd wrote:Yeah, it is good to see you back at it, OldMtnMan! I wish you the best of luck, and what a challenge it must be for Dan, shootin' everything with the shotty's. The more I read the two of you, the more I realize how crazy you both are... Respectfully,

Re: One tough fox.
I think it is certainly a good way to hunt, if not for it being less expensive, but for a good challenge. I only wish the slugs from all the shotguns could also be used on the Bovines. We can use 'em for the PB, Griz, etc, why not the Bovines. I often use the 10g and I find it is good for the flying critters. Respect,DanthemanBoone wrote:Believe me.

Re: One tough fox.
I've always switched between modern and traditional hunting and was the reason for my changing my account so many times. Really stupid and it cost me $1000 to figure out how stupid I was.
I've settled on doing both on the same account and it's an easy switch between the two methods. Only two guns needed.
Traditional..........Caplock, trapper outfit, no aids at all.
Modern........30R, B&C outfit, all aids as long as it legal, humane, and no exploits.
This works for me as I just hunt the deer family of animals. Deer, moose, and especially elk. I try to avoid bears unless they get in my face and need a spanking.
