the poacher Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 well i was out again this morning after a fox which ive been after for 8 months yes 8 months very clever fox, got up there at 6.40 am just breaking daylight. walked the first few fields and then i spotted him eating a old sheep carcass so i got in position and the ****** winded and he was away yet again :whiteflag: so i thought nothing else of it carried on with my walk around the farm spotting loads of rabbits ect, then walking back to the field i first spotted him to my astonishment he was there again so i layed on floor ready with the shot when,. he ran like a bat out of hell he did it again so i thought this time you f....r im going to head where it ran as i got to the top of the field i could see a load of crows diving in a pile of reeds so i ran down layed on the floor yet again and waited and he came out at about 125 yds away my heart nearly jumped out of my chest so i had him in my cross hairs and let fly with a 55gr .223 and it dropped like a stone i was over the moon after 8 months of stalking it :whistling2:. i have to say i take my hat off to the ****** he gave me 1 hell of a run around but in the end it was worth it :wavetowel2: :wavetowel2: heres a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Well done Mark. I know how sly this fox has been, and how long you have been trying to get him, as I've been out with you to get him on more than one occasion. Patience paid off in the end, but not for the fox!

the poacher Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 like i said steve youve been up with me a few times after him but with no joy but this morning was my day he made a fatal error but he gave me 1 hell of a run around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 They say patience is a virtue! He is very well marked and in good condition! I know that it has to be done but in a way it must seem a bit of a shame to say goodbye to such a clever and cunning adversary! Well done on getting the little bu**er in the end mate!
