pigeonblasterian Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Got settled down at 1830 and shot first rabbit at 1835.Thought this might be a good night with getting off to an early kill. Then i saw something moving just inside the tree cover and obscured by nettles growing down the wood side. Out popped a fox cub and i was in plain view with a camo jacket on and a face mask and a liver and white spaniel laid beside me. I could hardly believe it when two more cubs came and joined the first cub and were sniffing about where i had shot the rabbit not more than twenty five yards away. I was just about to swing the gun on them when they went back into cover as quick as they had appeared. I got the gun swung round and squeaked and waited about five minutes. Then about 50yards away to my left a larger fox appeared looked about and just went back in the wood. Never saw them again but i left them two nice rabbits to eat as they seem to have eaten the others i have been leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 nice job pb. might only be two shot but that bottom one could be a pregnant doe, so potentially half a dozen rabbits there. if the foxes are taking the bait they should sqeak out soon. i look forward to the fox pic.[plenty around at the moment, and some big cubs too.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
