garyb Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Shot this one last night, after it had given us the run-about earlier in the week. Finally came into a cub distress call from Al4x's FoxPro, at 130 yards. Poor thing.. looks like we did it a favour. Farmer had lost 3 chickens and a duck... here's hoping this was the culprit.

12borejimbo Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I know they are bad creatures at times, but mange is just disgusting, never forget the first time the keeper showed me a fox with mange and told me what it does ect. Nasty well done, good shot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sad to see them in such a state. You did it a favour, and, hopefully, the farmer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Nasty - I shot a rough one last week, back was totally bold and scabby ... the worst one I have nailed so far but not as bad as that one Gary. farmer was pleased as it was in with lambs. Good result Mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 anybody who wanted that one was well and truly welcome to it haven't had one smell that bad in a very long time I stayed well away from it on the basis Gary shot it so he could carry it. Ignoring the fact after the .243 shot it was still moving so it took the mighty HMR to put it down permanently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Stalker Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 He kept that bit quiet, he been shooting them in the **** again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit.slayer.no.1 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 that is discusting, i bet it smelt worse then a fat lass after a night out in a hot club. but well done for taking it out of its pain. even if the hmr was the last shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 weirdly jaw and shoulder funnily enough its the second one I've had to do that to with shoulder shots. It knocks them down fine but they do seem to take a few moments to give up. It was a wiley one and wasn't stopping for long each time and was face onto us so it was take the shot as quick as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I only hope you didn't handle him without gloves and that you disposed of him on a fire or in a dead pit. Mange is very contagious and can affect humans and your pets. We shot a CWD like that last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
