Catweazle Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 The snow in January gave me a good chance to see the fox trails and rabbit runs on my land, I found a comfy place in the V of a tree and waited for a rabbit to come out of a large warren. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this fox with its nose to the ground weaving in and out of the bushes. It was so focused on a scent it didn't know I was there until it was 15yds away, as soon as it stopped I gave it a load of No6 in the head, it didn't even twitch. Shotgun included for scale, he was a whopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 That's quite a podger isn't it. That fox has no doubt had more than his fair share of poultry in it's time. Nice photo and write up, a very humane end to it, just as it should be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 nice big fat winter fox there i have only taken 1 fox with a shotgun a couple of years back now its hard work with the 12g. good going I always carry a couple of 3" 54g AAA shells in case I spot charlie in the woods, but in this case any movement would have spooked him so I couldn't remove the No6 and reload, he was close enough for me to put all the birdshot into his brain - job done.
