bullet boy Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Had this pretty Fox last night with my Tikka T3 .22-250 and Archer Gen 3 NV set-up. The Farmer told me he'd baited an area the night before-135 yards from his Sheep Shed and he'd also put out a Straw Bail at the end of the Shed for me to rest my rifle. After a few hours talking and a few cuppas later we headed out through the Shed quietly and rested my rifle on the Bail. I would say about an hour scanning a Fox came into view in the Field.He was quite a way from the bait but I just knew he was heading for his easy meal.I waited until he was on the bait and with him side on and with a safe backstop squeezed a shot off and the Norma 50gr V-Max bullet connected with this very fat and very pretty Fox. I thought for a moment it may be a family pet cos it is in very good condition.Again a very happy Farmer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccles Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Well done Bud does look like a nice fox. You are getting lazy you will be getting the farmer to find you a armchair to sit on next or better still why don't you shoot from his bedroom window you can have a kip then and he can wake you when the fox arrives. atvb Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
