camokid Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 went out for a couple of bunnies wednesday on a local patch. i hit a few and proceeded to gut them as i wanted a few for the pot. i left the guts where they fell and after five minutes and first flash of the lamp a poor mangie fox was sat there eating the remains. he was small week with a bloated gut and bad mange along its back, face, tail. its a real shame to see a creature as stunning as a fox in such bad shape also i had to play santa and deliever bottles of wine and chocolates to all the farmers so not one to turn down a shoot opportunity i took the rifle and fitted in a morning stalk to try for a roe doe for xmas but it was very quiet and not a roe in sight. on the return to the car a munty doe presented herself for a shot, it was taken and i now have a full freezer for over the break. game pies all round thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camokid Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 i really dont think he would have lasted the winter he must have been in pain he looked worse in the flesh. the cal is 243 i find it a bit much for the munty 223 is better in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyotemaster Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 That would be easier than dragging out a 200# whitetail. I could almost put one in my game bag. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he can't spread it any further. your right that did stop it spreading. i red up on the mange mite and its quite a vicious little bug ger it will eventualy take over the whole fox , some of the images on google make you a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyotemaster Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 good god is that what they weigh thats some meat Don't get me wrong Andy and I am sorry if I implied they all weigh 200#. the buck I posted here a while back went 250# field dressed, would have put him over 300 live weight but he was in his prime age wise(4 1/2). Most does will run 100-150 and average buck around 175-225. I have found that they yield about 1/2 dressed weight, that's boned out meat with most fat trimmed.
