camokid Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 hi chaps well friday night came and down the farm i went. It started of a bit pants in all the first farm i had in mind to visit was a game shoot that i help the keeper out on at times but he was know where to be found. My plan was to give him a had for a couple of hours just till dark came and then shoot but with him not about i had to move on. i then decided to head back towards home and pay a visit to a farm on the way. i arrived there to be met with 3 foot of hay but i thought im here now s.o.d. i walked over to a bank where you can take some good distance shots on bunnies and the odd fox works the area to. So my plan was to sit there and then lamp for the foxes. after half a hour and one shot a 168 yard rabbit the farmer decided to come into the field and start cutting the hay so this really messed up my plans even more. By this point it was around 9pm i only had a couple of options left so the final farm was one i dont really bother with its not very productive even tho the farmer says there is to many foxes and to take them out on site but at the min its 3 foot tall of rape all over. i parked up at farm 3 and off i went.i got about 30 yards away from the car when i noticed the sheep where kicking up in the one field that is for grazing i tip toed around the corner and the sheep where going mental running all over the field i then spotted why there where 3 foxes haveing fun chasing them it was a bit of a site. After watching them for a moment they calmed down and headed to the sheep feeders and began eating the contents, one buy one i placed a shot and in ten min had all three all on the feeder i had to wait for one to get out of it before i could take the shot anyway the 3 became 8 within the hour every one shot in the same field and all around the feeder well one was shot about 10 foot from me as it poped out the hedge. It was mad you spend all night looking for one and 8 showed up in a hour that will be a memory of mine for a long time. first 3 around the feeder the final moments. my brother is on holiday sunning it at the moment he will be gutted about my solo mission. thanks andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
