mosa Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Needed a couple of rabbits for the pot. Shot 1 smashin me thinks! Then nice pair of eyes staring at us (me & paulABF) squeaked a few times then ran off. Never mind Moved into next location and now 3 sets of eyes looking at us. After some squeaking the 1st ran towards us and sat down. Took that one out cold at about 60 yards. Still another 2 nearby. At a point where we were back to back and just to get one each 2 mins later some bloke appears with his dog!!! 5 mins later we had a follower but this time it got away. On way back to car another pair of eyes at about 140-150 yards again sat down so took that one out although it finally dropped 15 yards away. All with my .17hmr. Paul also shot one but we couldn't find it. Cracking night out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 The Hmr isn't a 150 yard fox gun, sounds like time for a variation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosa Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 May not have been exactly that but at least 100. Got slots but not interested in filling at moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon6ppc Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 not a bad night that pal well done ,like said above i would,nt realy shoot foxes around 150 yard with the hmr even thow it will kill at that range,think if you stick around the 100 yard mark or just above you should,nt go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie-fox Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Well shot mate...if you keep to a short range the hmr will drop foxes... Edited December 9, 2012 by archie1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
