maxwell Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi Guy's The farmer on one of my permissions is haveing a problem with chickens been taken, set up last Friday but no luck just a brief sighting as a fox disapeared into the cover around 11, so baited the area a few times during the week. I arrived at the farm on Friday and after a chat with the farmer he told me there were two foxes the night before just after 11 causing havoc with the chickens, I had a walk around the farm and shot a few rabbits and a magpie (9 magpies on this farm so far)dropped the bait and set up for the fox around 10.30, just after 11 a set of eye's in the cover followed by a fox faceing straight towards me, he put his head down to sniff the rabbit, a nice safe head shot, stone dead. I waited for a further twenty minuets or so and a second fox apeared and picked the rabbit up, a chest shot, side on and it dropped on the spot. The .204 with 39g Blitzkings are really hard hitting and are very affective on fox Regards Maxwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
