Frenchieboy Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) I visited a permission and while chatting to the farmer and his wife they expressed some concern about the amount of young foxes they were seeing playing on the far banking in the evenins sunshine. I decided to have a look to "suss out the situation" as sometimes even just 2 cubs can turn into a dozen with a few people. As it turned out they were not exagerating, I spotted 4 different foxes in just a short while. (One of them I could not film as it would have meant pointing the rifle mounted camcorder directly at a neighbouring farm house, a definite NO NO in my books) To add insult to injury I only had the 17HMR with me and quickly found out that the scopes had been knocked slightly out of zero so I could not have taken a shot even if i could have got them to within a sensible range. Anyway. I am quite happy with the fact that there are plenty of foxes there that need "dealing with" so a couple of visits with my Bruno Fox (.222) are well in order. (It's less than 2 miles from my home anyway) At least they are out mooching around in the warm evening sun so it doesn't mean loads of cold dark wet nights for a while - A pleasure for me but hopefully not such a pleasure for "Charlie's Little Devils"! name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="385"> Edited June 22, 2010 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Another good un let us no how you get on :yp: Will do but things are rather busy for me at the moment so it is going to be a few days before I get a chance at those little devils! (I have a "foxing" session booked for Thursday evening/night, plus a couple of early morning forrays) I will try to video the procedings but I don't like posting fox shooting videos on Youtube because of the "antis", especially if there is a lot of "claret" involved, I don't think "Joe Public" wants to see that! Just out of interest "A bolt 22.250" where abouts in Gloucester are you from as I am originally from that area - I was brought up around the Hillesley and Hawkesbury Upton areas, are you anywhere near there? (If you don't want to say on open forum you can PM me) Edited June 22, 2010 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
