bang bang birdy Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 So a few people have asked me for some venison for the Christmas table. I got up early this morning and decided to go and sit in one of my high seats there is still a layer of icy snow on the ground in deepest Oxfordshire so I got there about 45 minutes before first light so I could let things settle down. I saw a few muntjac and roe but it was still to dark in the woods for positive Id or safe shot. I sat and wait a bit more and spotted Charlie lurking around. The high seat I was sat in was near one of our pheasant pen. If I see a fox I always go for him over anything else. I watch him creep through the trees by the pen waiting for a shot to present itself. The little ****** laid down under a tree waiting for the pheasants to come down from roost. The only breakfast he was getting today was 100gn SP. after that he wasn’t going anywhere. I waited around for another 15 minutes and a nice muntjac buck showed up so I had him as well. I looked at my watch and it was 7.44 AM. I had beating at 9am so I had to get a riggle on. Picked the fox, he was a big old dog fox. Gralloched the muntjac he was also a good size. Got home pick up the boy and the spaniel and back out the door again.. very enjoyable morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang bang birdy Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 It was a very enjoyable and exciting morning. I had to move the fox because we get a lot of local dog walkers going through the woods even thou there are no footpaths. Carrying munty dragging fox with rifle on shoulder in the snow and ice was a challenge but well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
