Hiya,

 

I went out first thing yesterday morning for a walk around the farm with the triple, there wasn't much about so I sat up at the top of the hill for half an hour to see if anything showed. I was there for a wee while then I notice a Roe starting to cross the field below me, quickly followed by two others. I sat and watched them slowly work their way across the field patiently waiting to see if they would stop, it took a while but they did and I lined up on the middle one and sent a 50grain SP into it's heart. It jumped ran about 20 feet then fell over while the other two just stood an watched, though they soon moved when I stood up :)

This evening I went out to try for a Fox, as there was snow on the the ground it meant I could watch the fields without using the lamp. It took a while before I seen the first fox, but he wasn't hanging about and I couldn't get a clear shot at him. I spotted the next one as it worked along one of the fences the as it crossed the field I gave one single squeak and it stopped long enough for me to line up on it's engine room and hit it with a 50 grain V-MAX home load.

 

It measured out at 191 yrds and although there was no sign of an entry wound there was a 3" hole in the other side of it :)
