Went out tonight after this one that snuck off through a hedge seconds after I spotted it last night. I put a caller out at around 200 yards to give me the chance of anything either approaching the caller from in front or from behind. While spotting I noticed a fox coming from the general direction that I was expecting it at around 23.30, but it had other interests than my noise box.but I lost sight of it, Oh toilets!!! I had all angles covered but the hedge bottom 150 yards to my right, I bet the monkey was heading for that. So down from the back of the pickup, rifle and thermal in hand I crept as quiet as you can't across 100yds of stubble lol. It had bloody turned and gone back towards a gap in the hedge towards the caller, so crunched my way back to the pickup, climbed on board and scanned, ,,, no sign, ,, I kept scanning,,, switched the caller off and waited. Popped open the coffee and had a nice hot drink, scanned again and the monkey was there just walking up to the caller, not even on, must have liked my moisturiser. I gave it a whistle and as it stopped I took aim. SAFETY CATCH !!! it went a little further beyond the caller towards the corner of the field, I whistle again, it stopped and turned, this time the safety was off, and so were ghe fox's lights, I watched it drop to the shot, then heard the impact, yep thats another one less.
