snowz Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Went out Friday about 6pm with my mate Dave to check and try out the new rifles, its been a while since i shot mine so wanted to check zero and Daves is new to him. Checked the rifles and was spot on Pulled into first field and spot a rabbit, pinged it @ 275yds, Dave got out and his new 6mmBr ready, took aim and killed it, Had a drive around some other fields and had a few rabbits with the rimmie as not safe shots for a CF rifle. Went to one of my permissions, a fruit farm. Driving around the orchard we stopped in between 2 hedge rows, we heard a noise in the bushes, i had my .223 out ready. Out popped 3 Badgers :blink: 1 ran straight back in and the other 2 ran, one went either side of Daves legs close enough to touch him, we were both in stitches laughing a how close they was to him, we thought they might of had a go at him on the way past i had never seen badgers before let alone less than 6ft away from me. Got back in truck after as it was about 9.30 and getting dark, just as we was leaving the farm Dave spotted a fox in the field to the side of the drive we was going down, i pulled up, snook around to the back and got my rifle out, went back and took aim on the bonnet. Foxy as 100yds so easy shot. Took aim at the side its head and squeezed the trigger, down it went with a whack. Went over and it was a vixen, looks like she had cubs this season but no milk in her. Nice head shot and massive damage the other side:blink: it was one of them nights you dont plan but turns out to be one to remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
