Davy Holt Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Ok been chasing this Vixen for a couple of months now, slightest hint of a lamp and she was off at 300 miles an hour :( tried baiting her but she just wasn't interested in anything I left out tonight I did my usual routine of putting some bait out at the usual place I see her with the Spypoint covering it and waiting for it to be set off. As per usual she was a no show so I decided to go for a quick wander. Got to the small hump that lets me see pretty much all the ground in these two fields and had a quick flash of the wee lamp on low power with a amber filter.. bingo caught a glimpse of eyes at about 230 yards directly upwind of me. Got down on the bipod, lined up the Triple on roughly where it was and fired up the lightforce that was mounted on my scope.. there was Foxy bang in the centre of the beam dancing away trying to catch a mouse. As soon as she caught it she stood still for a couple of seconds facing me and that was all I needed to send a 50 grain V-MAX her way which gave the tell-tale thud of it hitting the target I then wandered over to find her, I could see her in the shortish grass no problem and as I got to her I put the torch on her, only to catch the mouse, still alive climbing out her mouth and scurrying away.
