Well done mate

[SSS]

 

Another pose to show how big he was

[Guest Callum.]

Correct me if im wrong but did you reload fast?

Because if he started running again and you reloaded and shot him it must of been pretty quick

Well done anyhow (:

[SSS]

It was pretty quick, but I ran aswell as the fox, and he wasn't running very well. It wasn't long before he was dead.

[SSS]

[Bobbo.]

Nice one

What shot were you using?? Three shots from an intial shot at 10 yards, I'd be expecting a chest or head shot dropping the poor sod instead of pumping another two in him as he needed. Sorry just my opinion.

[SSS]

I was using 36 gram number 1 and to be honest, I thought he would have dropped straight away. Maybe it was nervous reflex making him run.

And as for chest or head shot, I was using a shotgun so it was more like both. I may not be the same as you, but I point it, not aim it. I put the pattern in his direction and couldnt do anymore.

Haha a head shot?

im pretty sure he was using a SHOTGUN not a rifle.

Well done mate. That's another less to worry about feeding off your chickens!

well done mate

[TomV]

Nice shooting, how did you manage to hold the lamp and gun at the same time?

[SSS]

I point the gun and rest the foregrip on the back of my hand

Seems to work well once you get the knack

And another charlie bites the dust! Well done.

[Evil Elvis]

Youd better get the other one before the lambs arrive

Well done young man,nothing better than doing it all yourself,the reason you had to chase after him is probably down to an adrenilin rush as you suddenly presented him with a free meal and he was on a high,hence the speed at which he came in.Its not uncommon for them to take off like this when essentially they are dead from the first shot and only travel 100yards or so,going back the next day usually ,you'll find the fox not far from the point of shooting.

I recently had a fox run 150 yards after hitting it with the 223,I noticed in the lamp it kept tripping over something,when I got to where it had stopped,everything inside the chest cavity was flapping down its side,the will to survive of the fox is incredible and to see how much damage they can sustain without dropping on the spot is unreal.

Shot a vixen last night whilst out with my mate,both of us firing at the same time,me with my 270 and him with his 243 as it was making for a hedge,both connected and the vixen was seen to be jumping around in the light for several seconds,on arriving at her carcass ther was a hole in her side I could fit my size 10 welly in,the kenitic energy alone should have stopped it stone dead.

I used to lamp alone with my over and under 20 or more years ago and if you keep practising and build up mussle mass and muscle memory in your shoulder you will get to the point as I did of being to hold the gun with one hand steady enough to save getting tangled in the wires of the lamp and give a smoother sweep.

 

Well done Keith

I think you should keep it in a freezer and when kids come trick or treating at halloween show it to them.We did it with a pheasant and they ran off screaming and we got nobody back bothering us that night

That's just cruel, damn funny but cruel

[Guest Callum.]

That's just cruel, damn funny but cruel :blink:

 

 

I think it was the first dead pheasants they had seen

BUT one of them had guts hanging out because i didn't check it before i picked it

But i got some sweets for myself so it was worth it,you should try it!

On looking at the carcass today, its skull was smashed and full of holes, it was a surprise it was still alive to be honest. I think you may be right, it may have been nervous reflex making it jump and run.

Thanks again chaps

Excellent.
