vole Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I was out on a farm I shoot from time to time after crows as they had been getting lambs injured. Had set up the bouncer but there was not a breath of breeze so tough going. I shot a fast crossing crow so thought that was it. About 8 30 pm so half an hour of daylight left. I decided to pick up the dead crow to use as a decoy but it had fallen into a field behind a 5 foot wall. Looked over to see a good sized fox stood in a gateway. I pulled back behind the wall and snapped the safety off my pump action which had 3 x 32g in 6 shot loaded. Looked back over the wall and was surprised he was still there,about 25 yards away. Usually I would prefer BB but this was a sheep farm with lambing in full swing. Saw him flinch with the first load and he ran right to left and could see him getting whacked with each of the 3 cartridges.Went down never to get up about 20 yards from the gateway. Made up for the **** crow shooting this evening and an eye opener for my nephew who had tagged along. Have a pic on me mobile . The farmer had seen a fox around and wanted it gone. He had a good set of gnashers and apart from a bit of mange on the back was in good nick. This is the best shooting I have done with my pump action and that 3rd shot was very reassuring to have. Lovely pint on the way home too. Edited April 9, 2010 by vole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
