FOXHUNTER1 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Shoot captain rang me the other night to say that all the fields had been combined so I was really looking forward to a good nights foxing I had taken 2 foxes off here the previous week so was expecting picking up some more cubs ... I took Grasshopper again with his rifle and set out in earnest scouring the stubbles but nothing was seen I eventually picked up a fox in some really long grass but shot wasn't safe due to some cows being just next to it . It was nearly 1am by now and I was a bit disappointed to say the least and I had to be up for work in the morning.................... Grasshopper coaxed me into having a look on another spot I have nearby where I knew there was a few foxes still to catch up with. Driving out of the farm I lamped a fox in a stubble field around 200 yards away so Grasshopper got ready on the bipod , I started hand calling and the fox just sat to start with but then I gradually ticed him slowly to 80 yards which is when Grasshopper performed the last rites It was a long tiring night but eventually got a result in the end............ Needless to stay I dozed off at work the next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
