Fox on a rare 17REM outing

I rarely take out my 17REM because most of my shooting is rabbits on not very centrefire safe ground - but I got a request to deal with a fox problem elsewhere so it got a rare outing.

I'd pre-focused the rig on a previous visit to be correct at the new bait post slightly further away - which I made my zero point at 150 yards from a non skylined position. The fox was heading straight for the new gutted rabbit bait but took interest in something to its left and it looked like I was likely to lose it.

Dropping the fox was more important than getting the recording properly focused - and as it was spotted almost as soon as I got to the shooting position so I didn't have time to set up the crosshair focus either.

It looked at me when I stopped it with a whistle and I feel it took a *** was that look after it got hit.
