simon6ppc Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) hi guys after being rained off for the last 2 or 3 weeks me and chana finally got out for a few hours on my shoot,i have been seeing fresh fox muck for the last few nights while out with my dog, so we had a look around the same area,as we got there one ran right past us but as forrest gump would say,HE KEPT ON RUNNING.any way we see this one just doing his own thing around some rabbit holes so i just waited for him to get 100 percent safe then shot him just over 200 yard with my 22ppc,the first ive had in almost a month now with the weather being rubbish so hope fully i will go again sat,atb simon....

Frenchieboy Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I know exactly what you are saying about the terrible weather conditions recently Simon, it's been the sort of weather you want to be staying in with the fire going and a glass of "something nice"! Mind you, it makes it that bit more rewarding and enjoyable when you do get a chance to get out. Nice shooting mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Know how you feel Simon,just been away for a week and although we saw plenty of Fox,the weather really ruined it,so well done on getting a result They're pairing up and calling a lot down Oxford way.Had some interesting conversations with 1 for 2 nights using the Fox-Pro she did come in the 2nd night.We were watching a Fox for 15mins that kept to the skyline after some Fox vocal calling with 1 in the wood below us...i turned to check the field to our left as this Fox was not going to present a shot..low and behold the calling Fox was standing 160yds away side on..mate shot it with his .308.no pic as it wasn't pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nice shot...I'm out tonight.. Hope to post a picture tomorrow if I'm lucky.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon6ppc Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 ye cheers fellow PW buddies, looks like we have all been hagged with the weather,i go quite a bit on foot so with the ground being soggy its some times hard to take shots as i lie down with a bipod and also to be quiet in the mud as some of these hill foxes i come across are clever customers at times,if the wind drops ime on the rabbits tonight with my rapid,that could be interesting,hope the few who are going out have a good do any way ,cheers simon....

simon6ppc Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 whats a 22ppc ? 22 -250 ? orite pal,its in between a 223 and a 22.250,its an american benchrest round made for target shooting realy but as you can imagine makes a top fox round.i use a 6ppc as well,its the same brass as the 22 but with a 243 bullet,the picture is of a 6ppc and a 22.250 and the group shot with the 6ppc as it shoots just like its smaller brother,cheers simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 That grouping looks too good to be true. Did you make the hole with a burnt stick? I do envy all of you chaps who are into your fox and deer shooting. It is a passion with you. I gave it up a long time ago and never got back into it.
