Outfoxed

I spent yesterday morning in Taylor County hunting with Jim Cooley, a friend of mine who also pastors a church in Morgantown. For most of the morning I didn't see or hear much of anything until I noticed a bright, bushy, rust colored tail darting across the forest. I guessed that it was a red fox, and it stopped to forage and play around several large rocks. I enjoyed watching it through my scope for about five minutes, but didn't take a shot since I figured foxes were out of season.

When I got back to the truck, I told Jim about my discovery and he said, "Why didn't you shoot? Foxes are in season." Lesson learned: read the regulations before hunting next time.
