WelshMike Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 FINALLY .... ....so after around 35 hours spent looking for a problem fox at a chicken farm over the last 3 or so weeks, putting out bait, putting out snares and putting out a trap and running the hounds through the farm with no success...at 1.22 this morning I finally managed to get him. I had watched a bait spot for around and hour with no luck so was about to head home. Spotted tell tale eye shine halfway up a steep bank. Got into a sensible position and over to the NV and confirmed it was a fox. I think he knew something wasnt quite right as he kept looking in my direction. He wasnt in a great spot and it didnt help there are loads of thistles in the field. I couldnt risk him getting away so took the shot when I could see his head and bib facing my direction. Lost sight of him but the strike sounded good. Got up the field and was met with a reasonable size dog fox and a freshly killed chicken. Both myself and the farmer are chuffed. Hopefully I can have some peace and quiet for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up in my intended cut hay field , put out the caller and within 3 minutes had this dog cub flying in to the pups call ........centre bib shot 100 yds Kept calling for another half an hour but nothing else showed before trying some more fields , spotted 1 but it never hung about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 More staying power than me Foxhunter. Well done Got to the flat farm fields with my, on loan, mobile high seat, only to find that the edge of the field dropped off 2m before the tree line making it pointless. I sat out for a couple of hours with the girly rifle. So bored with zilch to shoot at that i started taking photographs of Glasto Tor and reporting the antics of a black rabbit. Tonight will be different (I hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
