If only they were all this easy!

I planned to sit out for a fox this afternoon, in an effort to get on top of them before our birds arrive. I walked out into a field, put my remote caller down, pressed a random button to check that it worked. It worked, I let it squeak for about a second then I pressed stop, walked back to the seat, climbed up, turned around and there was Charlie! The rifle was still in its slip, moderator and binos still in bag, no rounds in the magazine (normally I would have this all ready but I had hangover issues). Luckily, Charlie was happy to stand there sniffing about whilst I removed the rifle, loaded a round and shot him.

I gave it an hour for things to settle, then did one loud call from the caller. After about 5 mins a vixen cantered in from the bushes making a beeline for where the caller had been. Incredible hearing accuracy/memory given I hadn't played the call for several minutes. I had to shout to stop her about 50 yards out. She got the same treatment as the first one.

A very successful hour. Both mature foxes, the first a dog the second a vixen.
