yds Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Me and scraggie arranged tonight ater the pheasant shoot yesterday. If the wind fell enough we would go to the small farm where I had shot a fox on monday morning while out stalking, seeing another 1 and hearing 2 barking. Well I rang him tonight and we agreed the wind had subsided enough to give it a go. We arrived behind the orchard and climbed upto the top of the bale stack to start the caller, Scraggie panned the beam and caught fox immediatly about 100m's it took off and ran like the clappers, I could see in the scope while I followed it, a gap in the hedge, will it stop before going through? It did and never got any further 1 down at 199m's with a very quick shot. We set the caller going and about 800m's away a pair of eyes looked. Yes another fox and it was coming. It stopped and lost interest at about 250m Scraggie changed the tune and in it came running straight at us. Turn it off I whispered, he did and the fox soon stopped puzzled. Bang it went down 163m's We had only been there 10mins. We called for another hour and had a drive around nothing else showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yds Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Back to basics tonight, no rangefinder scope set to 160m's and a sand bag on the bonnet of grahams (keeper) landrover. After riding about for a while and seeing 2 foxes which wouldn't sqeak in or stand luck changed a fox squat down in ploughing. all i could see in the zeiss under the red filter were its eyes. i whispered to take off the filter, he did and wallop a shot between the eyes at about 160m's off the wing mirror. No exit found, then another in the "park" going mad sniffing around and totally disinterested with the caller. Have you a bitch in heat i said knowing it was where he walks the dogs. Yes he replied. You draw your own conclusions. Anyhows a gentle sqeak on his hand got the foxes attention. It came along the wrong side of a post and rail fence finally coming through it at about 200m's. Close enough as i was on the bag now over the bonnet. I sqeazed the trigger and down it went without moving an inch a very big dog again about 20lb (he'll weigh it tomorrow).
