eccles Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) The forecast was dry for a change last night. Decided i'd get out to my furthest perm, its only 1/2 hour that's as far as i will go. Set off at 8 got to farm about 8.30 quick coffee and smoke. Headed down track to check bottom fields first nothing on 1st 2 they where soaking. On to my 1 of my best calling spots,a L shape sloping field. Put the long legs on pod and sat on my butt. Field had a bit of moonlight on it,put caller on Cottontail scanned with lamp a few times nothing,waited a bit on with foxpro again ,looked in front fox coming in like a bat out of hell. Shouldered rifle on with Archer fox 15y on with his brakes turned and off up field,followed it he stopped for a sec boom down it went. Called for a bit nothing else about went to pick up fox nice dog about 140y. Headed down to another good calling point,sat on my butt again coffee + smoke. Started with dog fox call , kept scanning with red now and agin,then pair of eyes coming in along ditch,soon a lamp hit it off it shot. On with Archer he was flying over field to river then out of sight. Seen that monkey twice now and he's a monster. Waited a while on with foxpro on cottontail after a while head appears by river 300y on with Archer could see it looking around but not moving no safe shot,not sure if same fox. Waited a while switched to chicken after a bit fox coming in quick from river from 2 o clock. Lamp off over to Archer fox still coming in quick waited till it was straight in front off with caller fox stops boom down,called for a bit after nothing went to pic it up nice vixen 130 y then off home. That 13 dogs and only 1 vixen since he cut corn think 7 visits.Think vixen's are hiding from me. Edited January 23, 2016 by eccles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
