bullet boy Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Went up the farm last week and done a spot of lamping.I called after about 15 mins and spotted a Fox about 600 yards away.After a few seconds he started coming to the call but across wind and not straight to me.I then had to get in position on my bipod and when i thought it was safe to shoot,i took the shot.I saw the Fox drop but after a good ten minutes or so still could`nt find him. After 5 days had gone by i went back to the place where i`d shot at the Fox and found him there,the range of the shot was 245 yards. I`m very happy with this Big Boy.

Evil Elvis Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I did the same recently, me and fatcat shot one on one of my local permissions, a long range shot but i had mantally marked where it had dropped, once we got there we searched for 10 minutes and gave up, I was positive i had hit it. A few days later I went to the same spot pigeon shooting and there it was ..EXACTLY where i thought Id shot it!!! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well done Mark. Nice to see you getting out and about. You should have asked me to sort the photo out for you. Never mind, as long as it's sorted for you. The fox is a beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hells bells, if the foxes are all that big out your way how about trying to catch one live and training it to carry your gear about for you. That isn't a fox it's a pit pony! Well done mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldypurple Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Dont you think you should of looked for it the next day rather than waiting 5 days, it may only be a fox but have respect. Other than that what a large fox, nice one Edited April 29, 2010 by goldypurple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Its probaby so big bas its a bit warm at the moment so rather you than me going anywhere near it. I've had it a few times just can't find them at night yet in daylight its easy. Goldy with a centrefire you generally just know its dead so the only issues are whether its near a footpath etc. I'm lucky my main ground I just call the farmer and he has a look with a dog in the morning thats if my GWP doesn't find it in the dark. Best option is not to take the lamp off it but thats hard if you want to check there isn't another one about. Usually I'll find they are a lot further out than I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second what mark has said above. WE have the utmost respect for all our quarry, including crows etc. When Mark hits the fox, he hits where he aims.

bullet boy Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Thanks Steve.I get a little disgruntled when people have a go at you for one thing or another.It is easy to criticise than give credit out-as my friend mr purple has said above!
