simon6ppc Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 hi guys,me and driller are off work today so last night we went out on another silly all night fox safari,the first farm we called at we usualy get in the center of a valley and just call its a top spot as we have shot loads over the years,we called and called \and called after a good 20 mins two came running at the same time,one from the right the other behind us,so i dived down and shot the right,a good 220 yard chest shot.when picked this one had no tail to tell as it didn't have one,when we got back to the farm we called again around the back of the house and another came running to us,the angle was unsafe so i climbed on a old tractor roof for the shot,but it payed off with another side hit not the best but it dropped it stone dead,the next farm i let driller have ago,we called this big dog fox from the side of an old shooting range and driller doing his dentist impression shot it in the mouth around 220 yards which was a good shot to be honest.the next one we called came from under another farm this came like a train to 100 yard where i did a bit of dentist work as well.so another good night realy as we see a few more that where unsafe,also i used my old 6ppc which to me is the ultimate caliber for fox as its so god dam accurate,cheers simon.

Dougy Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Simon your beating me, Not sure how many ive had this year, i know i had a slow start. ill need to spend more time out in the field and less time in the pub, mind you i quiet enjoy being out from 20.00 till around 23.00 and just popping in for a quicky on the way home. Nice going though, seems the last 2 had a bit of a face off. Just looked again at the top picture--- did you shoot the tail off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give it another try out this weekend on a different patch and see what it brings out. That will give me a better idea of its usefullness and compare it with my DIY jobby, I think those next door for £75 were old stock, ive got the NEW SHINY one 2013 model Oh! and a "bestfox call" caller thrown in Oh! forgot a new Bi pod off them for £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
