hi yeah what im trying to say is i dont have deer permission, but i want another calibre but what wil the police allow for foxes without having deer?? i can get a 338 lapua for deer and get foxes too but i dont have the deer permission so i cant link it like that to get the use of foxes.

no you just need another gun if you want to have a night vision scope and a normal scope due to not been able to use the nv scope in the day, easy to apply for but if you have endless money there is a nv scope you can use in the day, well i have heard of it not ever seen it but it will be more than my kite was, £4800. lota money like init to shoot a fox.

ohh yeah im not saying that there not good for the job at hand. i just dont want to go down in calibres if i can help it, i use my 243 nearly every night and 22-250 quite alot but if i get another night vision i definatly want another calibre, not just another gun, i might aswell get a bigger one if i can, johnathan

hi i shoot a high number of foxes a year but i wanted to get deer conditions on my liscence as theres deer on our land and the police says i need to get a letter from someone saying that i have been with them and shot there deer rifle and that in there opinion that im safe to shoot them, i shoot 200 foxes plus a year and i have a 243 and a 22-250 and had them for 3 and 4 years so i have plenty of experiance with large calibres. i just need someone who is williing to let me tag along and shoot there gun once so i can get the conditions to be able to shoot deer legally on my own land and other farms as i have a open liscence so i just need it passed by the police then i can get prmission from other farmers and friends and im sorted. obviously i will make it right with you as soon as i get it passed whoever i go with can come shooting on the land wherever i go, let me know if you want to help another shooter out, by the way im in west yorkshire, and willing to travel a bit anywere in yorkshire or close to yorkshire thanks johnathan

hi im just wondered what people have got passed for foxes, now im talking larger calibres but i only really care about what people have without having deer attached to the conditions for the calibre just calibres people have for foxes. now i have a 243 and a 22-250 for foxes but my mate got a 260 passed, im not sure if the police in west yorkshire will alow it. if anyone knows if i could get one, can you tell me how? i have one for foxes but the other i have is for a designated night vision rifle for foxes but i was wanting another night vision im going to get another kite. as my others a bit daft atm its going off all the time but i have droped it a few times. and i have a buyer for it so i was going to get a new one and get a cheaper one too. i wanted to put it on my 243 and the cheaper on my 22-250 so i need another rifle for normal shooting with the lamp or in the day, and i would like a bigger one if possible, i know there plenty powerful what i have already, and never missed or had a runner so very happy with them but obviously i would like a bigger calibre, theres no point going down, let us know what you think thanks johnathan

hi, i have a l200 2001 with big ragging tyres on it (275 70 r16) and a shooting subframe in the back, it is fantatic. i use it nearly everyday and i have only got it stuck once in a bog that you couldnt stand up in, it did pretty well, the only thing i can say about the pickups in general is there not heavy enough on the back end for good traction, we have a nevara two ( a new one ) and that cant go anwhere near as far as my l200. we also have a new disco but it has no ground clearence, the older ones have better ground clearence, and the upside of the disco's you can get a 4.0litre wich is better for foxing as its smoother and the autos dont have to rev alot to pull, also the l200 has loads of power. but the best thing about the older l200's is the ground clearence is great, i have driven over walls that have been broken down and it never hardly catches the underside. but the comment about the vitara was completely true the vitaras have the best grip to weight ratio of all the standard cars. iv had 2 and they are better than all the pickups but there not so big, my mate has a hilux and i have passed him in the l200 and had to pull him out up at the flappits. and once had to pull him out when we went shooting, he got stuck trying to get out of a steep gateway, i got out after a bit of spinning but he had no chance. hope this helps, johnathan

i have battery 2 site drills for my steel fabrication company. both 24v can use them with sds bits in and chuck adapter for screwdriver or twist drill. if you live on a farm like me you always need a good drill for a water bowl or summat. invest in a 24v li-ion battery either ryobi makita or a hitachi, or for the best drill you will ever buy.... period!! buy a HILTI !! and the good thing about these types of drills even idiots like my workers cant break them.

yes i got a serious amount of foxes the year after i got my nightvision it cost me £4800 but its awesome. i was shooting on land in different areas and i used to lay on the top of a hill looking over about 1500 acres to the other hill top and the call travelled a hell of alot and sometimes it took an hour for foxes to come but they used to come every time if i didnt get any set of eyes after 20 mins i used to use a totally different caller like some polystyrene on tile then to a electronic caller with the larger speaker on, bearing in mind there was no streetlights were this land is, it is easy to spot eyes even if they are faint i used the lamp to see the direction for the fox then dont use again after fox was within the land i can shoot on, as usually you can see it when it is clear as the fox is running towards you cos of the caller. also actual fox count as written in my diarys for each year is as follows: 2007-2008 82 foxes from june when got lisence shot with 12 bore and 17 hmr 2008-2009 217 foxes .22-250. 2009-2010 324 foxes open licence granted from dec 2008 and got night vision 2010-2011 436 foxes 2011-2012 281 foxes year my little one was born .243. 2012-2013 26 foxes to date total number of foxes 1366, i did estimate it and i was wrong but thats the proper amount.

i have had my liscence for just short of 5 years what are you on about

i used to go out nearly every single day, i dont now i still go out all the places but not as much and i used to, i used to spend nearly all night trailing round all the farms and our own farms and i have night vision (kite) and a night vision monocular and deben light that has a battery that lets me go out all night. i used to bait them all over and spent hours calling them in, i used to shoot near a naker yard too and that draws loads in even though i use to only go on the first day of the month i used to get 4,5 and 6 every time but i had to shoot them with shotgun depending where they were. anyway i know what i have done i have over 350 pictures all took in 2010 to prove plus all the others i didnt take a pic of and i wrote in my shooting diary.

right, alot of the people at the range prefer the 22-250 for foxing against what others they have not saying they all have 243 also. also i dont want massive power i just prefer my 22-250, i think it is better and with my custom sound mod its just lovely to shoot, if the 243 with a 55 is so fast and flat then thats fine but as i have said i like the 90 gr in it and wont be changing. also the 243 is louder than the 22-250 but i have just bought 4 extra baffles for my sound mod and fitted them so should be quiter than 22-250 now, so may be used more, there are alot of foxes that i shoot on my dads mates farm and they sometimes have shaved areas on legs so what would you say? could that be near were the rspca let foxes out?? and used to go out every day before i had a little one to up to 8 farms a week

if you read what i said, i said i shoot that amount less than 50 yards per year there mostly 150 yards plus and as for the amount of foxes, before i got with our lass and had a baby i used to go out shooting nearly every single night i used to shoot at home and up at my grandads and went out to my dads mates farm once a week whos farm is 650 acres and used to shoot 3+ every week on his farm alone. also used to go to a old chaps up in gisburn and shot a few every week i also used to go to my uncles every fortnight and used to get one 9 times out of 10 i can work out the distance like within 50 yards which is good enough to hit them every time and i only take safe shots actually and only shoot if im sure its a fox i agree you know ballistics or seem to and you obviously know that i dont know about the performance of the 243 with different bullet weights in. i know plenty about shooting mate, knowing about ballistcs doesnt make you a good shooter.

17 hmr cz 453 or 452 either or,varmint barrel with a sound mod that i have forgot the name of now i come to write this. with a 6-24x50 dontop scope illuminated target dot, harris bi-pod shooting hornady v-max works well only ever shot foxes with it, very accurate when not windy.
