Johnsonburg, Pa.:  Freddy Frey is a well-known predator hunter.  Freddy and his hunting partner Josh Bixler both set records over the weekend at Rolfe Beagle Club’s Statewide Coyote and Fox Hunt or Trap. 

Freddy registered 10 red foxes from farms in Somerset County.  The previous high total for number of foxes harvested at a Rolfe Hunt was set by Freddy himself and Steph Conto in September of 2022.  The red foxes ranged in weight from 6.4# up to 13.4#.  Freddy brought in six male and four female red foxes, coming from Somerset and Lancaster Counties.

Freddy’s 13.4# female red fox also set a record for the largest female red fox ever harvested at a Rolfe Hunt.

Josh Bixler brought in three foxes:  a 13.8# male red fox from York County; a 10.2# female red fox from Lancaster County; and an 8.6# female red fox from Somerset County.  The 13.8# male red fox also set a new record for weight at a Rolfe Hunt.  The previous weight record for a male fox was set by Jared Kuleck with a 13.0# male red fox in 2019.

Freddy and Josh hunt together and use a thermal scope with an electronic call.  They also shoot with suppressors.  Freddy shoots a .223 caliber rifle, and Josh harvests with a 6 mm ARC rifle.

In addition, Freddy harvested a 34.0# male coyote from Somerset County and a 27.6# female coyote from Fulton County.

Hunters are reminded that Rolfe Beagle Club will be holding their 10^1h Annual, Statewide, 10-Day Coyote and Crow Hunt from August 30 to September 9.
