Archie-fox Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Morning all... Shot this fox last night that must be the worst lamp shy fox I've ever had..soon as you turned on the lamp he was off at full speed, so at 11pm last night I tucked myself at the bottom of a tree, put the fox-pro out about 60ft away and began waiting, the odd scan with the nightmaster 800 showed nothing, after I started to get really cold we decided to move..a last flash and there he was running in at full speed, a quick shout and a solid neck shot at 40 yards and he was in the bag...

Dougy Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 NV sorts them sort out, its almost cheating. A shooter in my local got upset when I mentioned about me using Night Vision, "its not very sporting" he grumbled. Never mind I said, you keep missing them and getting them mega lamp shy and I'll get the call to clear em up, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind I said, you keep missing them and getting them mega lamp shy and I'll get the call to clear em up, LOL That's just the same for me...the local guy just takes pot shots at them, then when I catch up with them they bolt at the first sign of the lamp...it's good to catch up with them, I'm looking at night vision at the moment will get one when Xmas is out of the way...( and when the wife is on holiday with her mate in America)...

r1steele Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Funnily enough I managed to catch up with one I've been after for quite a while last night also. Really bright night and could see her quite clearly out on the field where she usually is but this time I just drove past, parked up and wandered nice and quietly down the lane (private road) and there she was about 40-50yds away. It was almost like daylight so no lamp to scare her off. It's nice to mop up the shy ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
