At 6AM this morning. I have never caught one so maybe he will give me lessons. We made 3 sets on Sunday right behind the house that he could check before school.

Cool.

Nice!!

Awesome job

nice,made my day.

Congrats to Logan. Great animal. He should be very proud as I'm sure you are.

That is the Best!!! Congratulations Logan!!!

mount??

If not a mount....get it tanned.

YES!

That is a great looking fox! No wonder he's cross....I get cross when I get my fingers pinched in a trap.What a great trophy and experience for you and Logan.

Hope you're taking notes.

Always a great surprise! WTG

Way Cool!

Mac

Woo hoo ! Great job Logan!

How beautiful is that.

You better take that kid to the casino!!! Chances of catching a cross is about one in ..... A WHOLE BUNCH!!!!!!!

Wow, that’s nice!

Too cool! Wtg young man!

Yes, all of his "firsts" get tanned. We were hoping to add a coyote and marten this year. A badger is a long shot here and a cross fox wasn't even on the radar let alone right behind the house. He made a modified hay set with an MB-550 and lured with Cavens gland lure and BACK BREAKER. In this part of the country, a good castor based lure works for everything!

That's a beauty... Congrats young man..

Congrats Logan!!! Now that rules!!!

That will get the blood going first thing in the morning, a friend of mine caught one back in the mid 80s and outside photos or tanned fur is the only one I have actually seen

Beautiful animal

Give the boy my congratulations and tell him I envy him the experience

That's a nice pale cross.Congrats to Logan.

Hopefully there is a litter mate or two around so I can get one too.

Congrats to him!

What is a cross fox? Wierd colored red?

Litter mates may not necessarily be cross fox. They could be ordinary reds or even a silver fox. There are any number of cases where a litter of "red fox" pups is mixed colors.

There is a chance of a silver? I better get my butt home and pound some sets in. There is no way I am letting a 10 year old beat me! I bet he won't even let me borrow my 550's back!

Nice job Logan! You going to make a hat out of that?

Very, very slim chance of a silver. Genetics and all that scientific stuff. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. Heck, you should be happy if you even see silver fox, let alone catch one. LOL

Genetics? Well, the gene pool is pretty shallow around these parts.

Man!! Way to go Logan!!

wtg that's great

those are really neat. Congrats, never have seen one here in MN.

Truer words have never been spoken!



Way to go again Logan!

Awesome!

Big thumbs up to the young man!

Mike

Good for him. I bet you were proud to be there trapping with him. I knew a fella who passet away a couple years ago who wanted to trap with his grandkids in MN too but never got the chance. Anyway, like I said good for Logan.

If you go about 30 Miles south of here the genetics get even worse! Some of the family trees look like a telephone pole.

Awesome job Logan! It's nice to see Rob learning to trap all over again.

When my son was 10 ...we checked 5-7 traps before school...fisher ,beaver,Otter,mink,rats at one location...and had a blast ! But I also kept a diary and wrote up a little story each day in a note book of our catches and non catches...the weather, what lures we used,type of set or cubbie..all kinds of info. Even kept notes of other tracks...Deer ,rabbit, . ..That was 17 years ago....But what a blast reading that diary....lots of great memories and laughs.... even getting spooked by a beaver tail slap is in the diary !

Great idea! I may start keeping a journal.....if he will let me bring my crayons with.

Might as well start chapter 1 ...with the excitement and how that cross Fox was caught. I always kept my head down and did not peak at the traps ..I always waited for the youngster to check them and listened to response.....priceless !

The more pictures I see of these catches.... I'm starting to think Logan is the Master and Rob is the apprentice.
