Season is almost over...

I got to do a few stands early Saturday. Temperature was in the 40’s and there was a light south wind.
First stand I missed a fast charging red that came in to platinum grey. When I was following his tracks to make sure I didn’t hit it started barking from the security of pine thicket. We barked back and forth to each other for a while but he never showed himself again.
Next stand I set up on a fence row in a field bordering a large swamp. I started out with platinum grey at low volume and and kept increasing the volume. After the first time playing the whole way through at full volume a I see eyes streaking across the field and into the woods across from me. He kept going back and forth in the woods and didn’t want to come out. I shut off the caller and light for about 30 seconds. When I turned everything back on he was out in the field just standing there looking my way. When I shot I heard the hit and he started a screaming that sounded just like grey fox in distress. I went over to where I shot him and there was blood everywhere but no fox. I followed his tracks to a small creek but lost them.
I came back at first light and found him 50 yds away laying in the creek.
