Archie-fox Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just got in from lamping a new farm and managed a massive dog fox and vixen..spotted the dog fox at about 300 meters changed the call on the fox pro managed to bring him in to about 90 meters bipod resting on a wall and a well placed shot dropped him on the spot.. Second shot was a barren vixen I saw her about 120 meters away so rested on a fence post and got her with a good chest shot, picture is abit fuzzy... They are starting lambing on this farm soon so a good start to protecting the new lambs.. Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate is going to measure it today...didn't look that big in the scope it was when we walked up to it...no sign of a exit or any blood on it either it just dropped to the shot....

Try and get it weighed as well. There's a shooting magazine (can't remember which one) that you can notify about it. I'm also sure that Robert Bucknall is interested in size/weight of big foxes.

A bolt 22.250 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Try and get it weighed as well. There's a shooting magazine (can't remember which one) that you can notify about it. I'm also sure that Robert Bucknall is interested in size/weight of big foxes. It's the sporting shooter Roy Lupton who does a article on foxing and also for fieldsports Britain was requesting people to send photos weights and measurements.
