deeksofdoom Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Was up early this morning, itching to go out for a shot. I tried a place that I have been trying to thin out the foxes but no joy. getting back into the car i spied a freshly cut silage field I thought to myself if they were going to be anywhere they'ld be in that and sure enough when i glassed the field there was a fox in the corner of it. You can see the field in the dead centre of the photo the fox was in the top left hand corner. Off I went, on passing the gate there was more than one fox, they were bowling around all over the field. I pulled up beyond the gate and crept into the field, they were too busy to take any notice of me. I lay down in the long grass at the end of the silage field needless to say the place was soaked and I was down at the bottom of the slope which made it even wetter. I watched them playing for a while and tried to call on the WAM but they just were too busy. I watched them for a while trying to figure out who were the adults. Anyway managed the first shot and knocked one of the cubs then a big dog fox bowled down the field towards me and I flattened him, the vixen followed the dog and down she went and finally the last 2 cubs, unfortunately the last 2 cubs and the vixen didn't die instanteosly and required second shots, I was using 55grain V-max and was shooting at close to 200m, I have the rifle zeroed an inch high at 100m.

SAVAGE HMR Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Great shooting mate, excellent result. Is the rifle you're using a CZ Varmint Laminate? I've got the same rifle only with a walnut stock. Cant fault it at all, accurate from day one and loves cheap ammunition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
