Dougy Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I had one coming into the call from directly in front of me, it was seen coming in to the field over 200yds away through a hedge, coming in on a direct line, i mounted the archer onto the back of the scope switched on the 2nd NM800 and tracked it coming closer and closer, i kept thinking "no need to rush the shot"---- "main centre mass" "cant miss, wait,,,, wait,,,,wait" it came to a barbed wire fence, ducked under (by this time it was only around 60yds if that) and stood front on, i was well above 3 large bails high. could believe i missed,,,, well gutted. no chance of another shot it retreated pretty quick on a different line behind a tree. 15 minutes later another appeared, this had to be a different fox because of the direction it came from, it liked the call too but it took an instant dislike to a 53grn vmax that this time did connect. One of those things i suppose ill never know why i missed. Edited January 20, 2014 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 nice honest post well shot does look a big set up on top of that gun yes it is a bit loaded, but take off one of the nighmaster,s and it doesn't look too bad. I certainly wouldn't be going on a long walk with it, just static, ambush tactics . normally on top of my favourite vantage point, the bales.
