Cameron County Hunters Successful at Rolfe’s Hunt or Trap

Two Cameron County hunters, Pat Uber and Ab Aikens, are successful fox hunters and brought their share of foxes to Rolfe’s Weigh Station over the weekend.

Pat started off the weekend with a gray fox he harvested at 8:00 p.m. on Friday evening. The female weighed in at 10.8#. Pat shoots a .22-.250 rifle with a thermal scope. “A story behind this one,” said Pat. “My wife told me there was a red fox on the edge of the woods but it disappeared by the time I go there, so I set up the call, and in came this gray fox.”

Ab joined Pat and they were calling at a stand near 11:30 that same night and a male red fox came in. The fox weighed 10.6# at the Weigh Station. Ab also shoots a .22-.250 with a thermal scope, and uses a Fox Pro electronic call.

Back out again on Saturday evening, Ab collected a male gray fox weighing in at 9.8# at 9:50 p.m. and then another gray fox, a female, at 10:15 p.m. that weighed in at 8.8#.

Pat also continued his success Saturday by harvesting a male gray fox near 10:40 p.m. up by the old airport. This fox weighed in at 8.6#. Pat and Ab harvested all their foxes from Cameron County on private lands.

Hunters are reminded that Rolfe’s next predator hunt for coyotes and crows will be ten days bracketing the Labor Day Weekend in September of 2026.
