Evil Elvis Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 B) As some of you know i had been asked to get rid of a fox which has been worrying a local farmers lambs, if you look in the bullets cartridges post etc, you will see the debate on which carts to use etc, there were some that accused me of not having the experience or even the "savvy" to get him, but after several nights studying his movement patterns, i felt confident that a small hawthorn bush would hide me at the point it entered the second sheep field. he was entering the first sheep field at 8.50, having a mooch and then entering field 2 at 9pm, so i waited absolutely still, i didnt squeek him or bait him, he came accross bang on time, did the exact route from the previous few visits and then kited down the side of the field straight at where i was sitting, I remained motionless with gun raised and he walked basically up to 10 yards away from me.......whallop, one 36g bb in the neck and chest and game over....folded up like a leaf and didnt even twitch!!! The farmer was delighted and now wants me to reduce the pigeon numbers that are eating his cabbages and other leafy crops.....permission granted!!!!!!! :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyRS6 Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Nice. I must say the learning how your qaurry moves and will act is very interesting to me. I'm only on rabbits but i am slowly understanding when they will run off, and when they are more likely to stay put. Nice Foxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Stalker, sounds like top fieldcraft to me :blink: , sitting really still for only a short time with the gun ready is not as easy as people think. Well done AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 That an escort you got him with? No its a browning silver in graphite: Thanks kip270 for pointing out that i cant spell field at 40 years of age lol!!!!!! Im more used to spelling things like pancreaticoduodenectomy, Deoxyribonucleic acid,hyperkalemia, and rabdomialisis. As i never use words like field at work it slipped by me :blink: I did learn a lot, i wont be making a habit of it, but if i get asked again, i can confidently say yes!!!! :blink: Also, what happened to your legs?? Looks like you have them amputated at the knee and now hover to get around!! Im very short, thats how i hid under the hawthorn bush!!!
