eccles Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Watched the weather last night said fine night for a change. Even though i was nice and comfy on sofa i thought i'd pop out for a fox before Welshmike tell me to get off sofa. Decide to go to my mate Huw's farm 1/2 hours drive as i said i'd go first dry night as he's just started lambing. Arrived at farm in for a coffee and a chat with Huw + wife he said his son had seen a fox about 2 days before and wanted to go after it with shotgun Dad said no leave it for Terry. Told Huw i'd start at top fields and come back around farm fields after. Drove round to top called for a good while in 3 different places nothing to b seen. Then bit of sleet so headed back to truck. Had a smoke and a coffee and headed back to farm. Walked up side of wood to top calling as i went nothing. Walked across top and came down right side of steep hill. Scanned with red pair of eyes soon at it hit it off it went over ditch and up bank . Switched on Archer could see the monkey behind branches of tree up other bank tried a call or two no movement. Then had to move around to try and get a clear gap through branches found i crosshair on it 55gr on its way heard the thud down it went. Scanned with archer on rifle and a fox heading down hill towards fox just shot again behind branches of trees came to gap 2 shout Oi almost stopped but took shot and thud down it went. Nice dog and vixen was going to down the big fields over road but back killing me so home. So worth getting of warm sofa Mike .
