With a story from way back in such low-tech days that cows were milked by hand, you might have to hand-crank the car on cold mornings, and red fox families held forth across the rural landscape like a wild aristocracy.
The red fox, it would seem, as adaptable as a mouse, has more or less moved in with us. That could pose a mind-boggling question as to why, at one point in my life, did my blood run hot with the desire to do them in?

I liked the part of this story where he mentioned that perhaps the fox thought this a game whereas she would say "Ah,,,where shall i take them today." Well this was an awesome story and I thoroughly enjoy Bill Stoke's writing.
Johhny Mack's narration allows the listener to really envision this all taking place. He's bar none the perfect reader for this story.

Tricked By a Trickster

The tale itself is about a group of teenage boys meeting every Saturday in the winter to hunt a wily fox. They meet up in a warm kitchen where someone’s older female relative takes pity on them, making sure they are full of good cooking before they rush off into the snow and ice. At first, I was concerned that I wouldn’t like this story much because I don’t particularly approve of fox hunting. However, this is not your traditional English fox hunt with horns and horses. And I will tell you upfront that the fox wins out the day.
OK, so the tale itself gave me some good chuckles. The main character telling the tale is honest in that they don’t often see the fox and that there are many times where the fox seems to be leading them on a merry chase, enjoying the game.
When one of the kids does finally see the fox, he’s in no position to shoot at it. Instead, he simply has to admire the wit and regalness of the fox as it lopes off. I also liked the reference to their regular farm chores and how tired they are.
I received a free copy of this book.
Narration: Johnny Mack was a good pick for this short story. He has a fine voice for a tale about teenage boys. During the humorous parts, there’s just a hunt of laugh hiding in the narrator’s voice.
The fox is smarter than you think!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, everything I read recalls my own similar memories. This is Mr Stokes' talent, his forte. I recall times in my life so similar to his stories, it's uncanny!What other book might you compare The Great Fox Hunt to and why?
I'm always comparing them to other works by Mr. Stokes. It is the case here, too.What does Johnny Mack bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I will pay Johnny Mack what I feel is the best compliment as a listener: you don't notice his storytelling work! Which is to say he is perfect for this and other stories I have listened to by Bill Stokes! He IS the voice that I "hear" in my head. I'm not sure if my description succeeds, but...Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's fifteen minutes long. I managed to listen in one sitting.Any additional comments?
