miffy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Got a call from my mate to go lamping again tonight. I finished work and grabbed the rifles and headed out the door at half 9. Got to my permission and the fog had come down really bad and didn't think we would be getting much shooting done tonight. Luckily as we drove down the track the fog cleared but still no sign of any rabbits or charlie. After 10 mins or so i spotted a set of eyes at around 100 yards. The fox wasn't interested and decided to make tracks in the other direction. I started calling which slowed the Fox up abit but it still wasn't having any of it. It stopped for another look and the shot was taken. A paced 165 yards was fox number 1. We carried on along the track and shot a few more rabbits when my mate went to fetch a rabbit i had shot a fox appeared about 200 yards up the same hedge line. I started calling and this fox came running. as it got to 75 yards it stopped briefly which is when i decided that it was close enough. I don't shoot many foxes from this particular permission anymore and usually 1 is a good night. so shooting 2 was a really good night. Didn't see as many rabbits as i would have liked tho The date isn't wrong on my camera it's just in MM/DD/YYYY format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferretboy111 Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 We didnt see anything last night, not a sausage, and we started at 10, i think the rain might of stopped them abit from wandering about. Alex Gotta persist with the ******* though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Rain does not usually bother foxes much, i have seen them mooching about in heavy downpoors for worms. Keep at it, you will get their in the end, try baiting the area over a week or so, then hit it hard. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
