garyb Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Had a bit of a result last night between myself a local underkeeper and stealth stalker. We called and shot 13 foxes in 4 hours, across two farms in the local area. The first 10 were all shot on the same 250 acre field :blink: - and there must of been a GOOD 6-7 that we didn't get a shot at due to safety, angles or range - ALL still within the same farm... Madness. Maybe the RSPCA have been busy, or they have just done very well in the current mild climate? Total bag for the night was 13 (12 pictured) I need to do some more reloading now!

Good shot? Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Very well done . I too would suspect a lot are urban foxes that have been released locally after being fed on all that xmas food we all throw away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) In a semi-rural, come urban area such as this, the number of foxes that live on one patch of land is simply incredible... Drive 15 miles up the road into a more rural area, and you will not see that kind of number all year.

Frenchieboy Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Wow Gary, what a night, one that you will remember for quite a time mate! That is "Fox Control" at it's very best! It would be interesting to know if this is a "Pigeonwatch Record" or has anyone esle shot more than this in one night - I think I am doing well if I get two in one night!

garyb Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 To be fair Frenchie... we could of easily done 20+ if I didn't have to go to work in the morning and shot through the night I was just happy that SS managed a clean sheet without a single miss!

FOXHUNTER1 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Brilliant. Definitely an RSPCA dump I know of a guy that shot 11 in one field in 20 minutes not so long ago, the farmer saw the white transit van leaving the farm and rang this guy straight up to come and have a look with lamp... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Stalker Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Nick, I had a feeling of de ja vu! Garys first fox the second we drove in, was shot in exactly the same place as yours, with 1 sat way beyond that, same as last year! I then told em to lamp to the right ( you know where I mean) and 2 were in the same bushes Gazza was not quite as quick as you tho Turned round in the field behind and he made up for his faffing with 2 in quick succesion (mildly impressed) in the same spot as yours ( I'm seeing a pattern here) I'm thinking of taking up guided foxing I think the boys were quietly impressed with my calling, that squeaky dog toy insert had em coming at us from all angles I'm definately of the opinion that the fox numbers are getting out of control thats 32 taken from Stealth Stalker Safaris so far this year :o And if Gary hadn't of cried of "because he was tired" Ahh bless! we would have got 20 plus, I'm sure of that We didn't even cover half of what i had intended.
