richie223 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi all,I picked up my mate mark lastnight to sort out some bunnies on our permission.We got to the farm around 7ish and was told by the farmer that there were rabbits everywhere,and he wants rid!also a fox has been seen mooching around the chicken sheds,also wants rid!So being the nice people mark and i are,we unpacked the shooters and headed off in to the night.I was armed with my trusty hmr and mark was armed with his .223.A disappointing night for me as i was after the bunnies,not much out at all only two kills So we headed back to the truck after about an hours lamping where i gutted them and had a glass of coke with the farmer.after a short time my mate mark decides we should check the top fields,so off we went without the hmr as i said i would lamp for him and also just could not be ***** to carry my gun. we reached the fields and we started calling using a mirror and polystyrene.It didnt take long (around 5 mins)and there were a pair of eyes glowing under the lamp around 200 yards away,i shut the lamp off and gave another squeak,within seconds i put the lamp back on and this fox is now running full throttle straight at us, but not for long sadly,mark with his trusty 223 stopped it dead in its tracks,it was shot at 50 yards approx .We found the fox in a heap on the floor a very well fed and mint condition vixen.R.I.P.

Frenchieboy Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 That seemed like a fair result even if there weren't many bunnies for you. The farmer should be well pleased that you nailed Charlie for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
