Thats a beautiful fox. What are you doing with him? I got a number of a guy that did a phenomenal job on my silver fox.

Very nice. A superior Cross I believe.

I see the odd Cross around here but seldom one as pretty as that. I only remember one that came close. My kid brother took it while calling Coyotes about 13 years ago.

Most of the ones I see, look rather muddy rather then pretty. I have a few photos of the ones I've seen.

Thanks guys. Yeah think I will take him down to western fur tanneries. Told me 99 bucks to tan. Wanted a life size mount done but way to much money.

I know how to post pics but I'll bump my thread where there's pics. I know it's expensive but it is worth it imo. Took me some convincing to get it mounted but once I realized what I had it was a no brainer.

I've seen his finished fox at the taxidermist, it's amazing. Yours would be too with those colors. Wicked catch.
