cocker3 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Well i havent been on pw for a while just to busy at work and never seem to find the time but thought i would share this with you . I got a call from a pal his son works on a golf course in edinburgh and they had lots of problems with foxes digging up the course and getting very tame .i was asked if i could sort it out so after getting the go ahead from the golf club and speaking to the police (just to make sure we were ok to do it as it is actualy in edinburgh )last night we went for a look we drove round the course in day light to pick out good back stops and the bits that were not safe to shoot then set off with the lamp .first fox was squeeked into 10 feet ! And they just kept coming we shot 11 in total and seen 15 but four were not safe shots .8 in the photo and 3 shot leaving the course ..i think we could shot the same again on the next visit and we get paid to do it which is a bonus Thanks for looking All foxes were shot with the 222.50 at sub 100 yards Edited September 6, 2013 by cocker3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldwanderer Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Cracking opportunity for you, I'd be grinning like an idiot for days! There's no end on an industrial estate I deliver to near Glasgow, there's next to no chance of permission to shoot (I wouldn't have thought) but I did consider using them to practice calling while I'm waiting for my rifle project to come together. I dismissed the idea to be honest though as I guessed town foxes probably had enough food not to bother with hunting anything. Looks like it might be worth a try after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filzee Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 There is no better rush when lamping, when you start squeeking and they come charging in. My first fox taken with a rifle was last year and i squeeked it from around 400 yards away and it came in like a freight train, stopped it at about 40yards and but a round just above its eye. Great shooting mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXHUNTER1 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Wondered where you had been mate. Looks like you're back with a vengeance. Sounds as if you have landed a good bit of permission there and getting paid too , cant be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
