My long time partner went on a trip with Rick Orelli, who died last year but was possibly the most successful contest hunter ever, for sure in California maybe the entire country? Anyway, I believed them, they would have no reason to lie to me. They killed a gray fox up around Farmington, New Mexico several years ago and said it weighed 26 pounds. Unheard of! I have seen 12 pounders, and that's a big fox, but most will go 7, 8, possibly 10 pounds, but I have seen a couple over the years that went twelve pounds. Twenty-six pounds is unbelievable, except I have known both of these guys since high school and Pat, since he was 18 years old, so I have to believe them. Thirty-two on a red fox makes me think it must be some sort of hi-bred? Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!
