FOXHUNTER1 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I phoned Ratcherman last night to see if he wanted to have a look out on the lamp to one of my permissions as 4 hay fields had been cut. I told him to bring his rifle and I would be lamp man. We lamped the cut fields and to my surprise saw nothing on them Then a roe doe burst through a hedge quickly followed by a buck in hot pursuit. We watched them for around 5 minutes or so to see if the buck got his leg over as he was right up her *** but I then caught the ruby eyes of a fox in the next field which was uncut. I squeaked and it screamed in to around 40 yds , Ratch dropped it with his .22/250 No 1 in the bag. Lamped the other fields and still saw nothing so went back to where the 1st fox was shot and I spied another.. Another squeak and again this one flew in to around 80 yds ... No 2 in the bag We then lamped the cut fields again and spotted another , 70 yards away No 3 in the bag. Next field was another , squeaked this one in to about 15 yards , No 4 in the bag. A really good night , great calling and shooting seeing as could only lamp about 1/4 of the farm. Rang farmer today and hes cut another 3 fields today so its out again tomorrow night to pick up some more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
