missedagainstan Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Up early this morning 5am keen to get in my newly made & placed high seat to take on the muntjac and sat in it at 5:45, perfect dawn timing At 6 am I caught sight of a fox for a few seconds in the trees and crossing the ride to my left after losing sight of it I squeaked at it but it wasn’t having any of that. At 6:30 the same fox? Went back across the ride in the same place and disappeared in the trees, felt p**@*d off with not getting a second chance only to discover a few moments later another fox sat on the ride only just visible between the bow of the tree I hadn’t had time to clear last week on placing the seat, It was just off side on, do I squeak it forward a bit more or take the shot, couldn’t see any thin branches to deflect the shot so took it. The fox (a young vixen) dropped on the spot, paced it out at 100 paces from the bottom of the ladder. Left at 7.30 for a walk round, never saw any deer A lean spell on the foxes lately the last one shot about twelve months ago so chuffed with this mornings result.
