deadeye ive Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 miffy kindly invited me on to his patch for a evenings (11pm -4.30 am to be precise ) Fox contol with a difference ........shooting out of a hatch cut out of a Landrover driven by Chris the gamekeeper .........This opened up a whole new world to me having a 7 ft off the ground firing point as on all my previous occasions on my own patch it's been calling them in close and me lying prone or shooting off a fence post . Only 1 Fox responded to the call and was taken around 60 yds with the others being not interested and taken at Fairly long range ,some pushing between 150 and 200 yds High powered lamps ,top quality glass and rifle and a cracking homeload were used which IMO is a must for long range work where a ditch or boundary prevents you from getting nearer Shot 7 retreived 5 and had a clean miss ........Chris is out with the dogs early to-day BTW The last and only shot was taken by miffy himself ........on retrieving the dead fox he pinged the landrover with my range finder to reveal a distance of 225 yds .......Pic below Thanks for the invite miffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound like foxes you would get in the winter, the ones you shot. I agree, winter foxes are more challenging. Looking farward to the season ahead, ill be trying to get out, sometime in september.
