jamie g Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 went out for quick lamp with my dad and friend. seen six foxes and i shot one, my dad missed one :blink: wasnt a hard shot to. i wanted him to get one but somehow he missed. never mind allways next time. i shot at one in a plowed field. ranged at 280 yards. i heard the hit and im positve i got him. but couldnt find it. really ****** me off that does. will go back in the day light to see if he is lay there. bloody hard to find a redish fox on a mud field :doh: thats why really soon as you shoot it the lamper should keep it on him so you can go right up to him. anyway here is the picture of a good size dog fox i got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've had that a few times this year, known kills and couldn't find them for love nor money. Always found the next day where they were lying so not an issue I'm out without a range finder and its usually been that they were a lot further out than I thought but because we usually take the shot and sit still for a few minutes in case another is about the lamp has been taken off them.
