Wxm 1,638 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 i know its off topic but can you use a smoker to bolt foxes and shoot them? is it legal?? Quote Link to post
Swift 0 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 "Longtails"... And i dont think flushing a fox with a smoke would work pal, is more of a larger space in comparison to small lontail's shithole of a home. Quote Link to post
