evo Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 where do I start, took one of the lads out on my perm, not shot over it for a while with the shotguns but thought we could give it a try, on the far field the rooks normally come over it from corner to corner, had to wait for my buddy to finish work but whilst waiting the skies seemed empty of birds whilst I was waiting for him to come down,, he arrived around 5pm and although the grass is nearly ready for cutting there is a small coppice in the corner of one field where the pigeons roost so we where going to set up under a big oak tree and hit them as they came in to roost, on entering the second field where the oak tree is as we where walking across the long grass I noticed something move in the corner of my eye, yes it was Charlie, I have been watching these for a few weeks now and they have not long had three little ones, we always carry a couple of BB,s with us just incase we come across any foxes and today was our lucky day, the fox was about 50 yrds away jumping up and down in the long grass and had not even noticed we had entered the field , so on letting my shooting buddie know he was there we proceeded to try and get close by getting very low in the grass and making our way towards him, we got to about 20yrds and he still hadn,t noticed we where there, Wow how lucky was that, anyway I stood up and expecting him to bolt off he just stayed still and decided to jump up, I let the first cart go and Jamie let rip with a second safe to say we both hit him,, he dropped, so heres a couple of pics of us with the little fella, only six more to go now but we ended up with 1 fox , 1 rabbit and Jamie had two cracking woddies aswell so not bad for a short time out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
