Dougy Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Went out last night on some freshly cut fields put caller out and a decoy, lay down and chilled out. After a while I djd wonder if my intuition was right, will Foxy be on here searching for a bonus find of a chopped up mole from the mower,, or maybe a bigger morsel. Well after around an hour and not a sign of ginger I was getting a tad despondent so fired up PW on Google, that's when I noticed the post re fly repellant. I just thought I would post on there, and sod me the Fox had gone into the decoy and caller must have got fed up with that and wondered past it and got on with its business hunting. It caught my eye just before it buried its head in a row of cut grass, quickly got ghe Tikka into position and could just make out the top of ginger head through the leupold scope, not a shot I wanted to take, so waited for a clearer shot. It soon appeared and at 195yards was a cert. The 53grain vmax had hit the spot, the visual confirmation was good, seeing the imact and the Fox just keel over,, sorted. But could quite easily have missed seeing it completely because of PW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Unlucky or lucky, well for the fox anyway. I saw another last night in a different field that appeared from nowhere and dissapered through a hedge and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 But could quite easily have missed seeing it completely because of PW. Amateur they do have a habit of appearing when you're distracted don't they? End result is all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
