happychappy246 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 the foxes arn't showing up at night so he can't get them the shooting land isn't that big either so that also makes it difficult but it was still a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happychappy246 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 i think it's about 1.500 pheasants and 1000 ducks for 12, 150 bird days . he's catching lots in snares but everyone one he catches 2 more appear bloody foxes.

SwingThrough Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Nice shooting Sunday Fox Drive, sounds good. What you should do is put 2 or 3 heavy cartridges in a seperate pocket and when you do see a fox, if you have time, change cartridges and choke barrel the bloody thing. Are the foxes getting in your pens and killing some birds or do they just hang around certain drives ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
