Underdog Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Feeling better I stalked some woodland this afternoon. Keeping the dog close I settled down on a bank side under a fallen oak bough. I poored a drink and settled down to wait and do some calling a bit later. I also tied Jess up as she likes chasing fox! I was a little concerned about a blind spot just below me so stood up to take a look. I could not believe my eyes! A fox was approaching less than 20yds away from that blasted blind spot! I had only just got there myself! Before I could get the rifle on it it was off and ran down below me and up the other side of the gully. I tracked it in the scope and it stopped to look back. I threaded shot one through the sticks and connected. Shot two connected. Shot three was sent because it twitched but hit a twig. Shot four connected but it was over anyway. About 80yds. In the next photo you can see her right paw is deformed from injury. A vixen with no milk and past her prime. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Well done U she do look an old girl but can still do a lot of damageSure, she looked like she was on a mission alright and did run away at speed.It was in the same area that Jess run one we called in a couple or three weeks ago, hopefully the same one. When I was getting in position a lone pheasant 'cocked up' in the direction she came from but I thought I may of moved it or blown it in other words. As it happens she was coming my way!.
