Dougy Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 This was one of a possible 2 Fox's seen tonight. I have now lost my bales as a high vantage point on this one field so had to use some pallets that had been stacked neatly near by. I was watching 2 chasing each other about 300yds off at the far end of the field, no call could get them any way closer and with the wind as it was a long shot would have been risky to say tbe least. So the waiting game came into play. The seemed to have a little chase, then show no interest towards each other for a while, then came together again for a little boxing match type grapple, to part again and wonder off. This went on for around 1/2 an hour until one ran off calling away then both disappeared. Stuff it I thought maybe I should have taken the shot, coffee break while I ponder over my missed opportunity. Shortly after this vixen showed up with what may have been a dog fox a few yards behind. This time definitely within range at just over 100yds, I took the shot and dropped the vixen, reloading immediately hoping for a 2nd fox I scanned around but no sign. I waited for some time but one appeared but too far off and showed no sign of closing in so called it a night. There's always tomorrow. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 They was courting mate, I had a great time watching a vixen flirting with a dog fox just yards from one year. She was lifting her tail teasing grabbing mouth fulls of leaf mold and tossing it all over her back. Very interesting it was. Good shot. U.
