Mr Fox

This is the perfect day to start my blog. This morning my dog Annie and I went to check my traps.  The desert was beautiful this morning, the air was cool. The sky was very clear you could see all around The Laguna and Gila mountains (the Laguna mountains by Mitry lake not the ones in California). There were even some snow birds driving by on their quads each of them waved as they passed it is good to see people enjoy themselves. Now when Annie and I went down into the wash where my trap was I beheld a beautiful kit fox, Annie sure was excited to see it. I had to kneel down and say a prayer of thanks for such a neat animal. So Annie and I went down into the wash and got the trap and dispatched the fox. We took it home and skinned it. I find that fox skin is perfect for my bows. When it is prepaired and then wrapped on the handle or limbs it dries and forms a tight backing and nice soft grip. So today Mr fox I thank you.
