First shot with the Cre8 28 gauge

Picked up a brand new Armsan Cre8 28 gauge semi auto and was itching to try it out. Snuck up after work to a few squirrel feeders I have in place but nothing was moving. Plan B was to make my way to the pheasant pens via some gorse and gamecrop above one of the main drives. As I silently approached, a huge Red Stag got up from the cover about thirty yards away and after we stared at each other for a minute or two, the magnificent beast made his way into the trees. As I watched him disappear, I was suddenly aware of more movement and slowly brought up my gun to a gingery shape trotting though the long yellow grass. At only six feet from where I stood, a large Fox cub stopped and a single shot behind the shoulder dropped him where he stood. He would have caused some damage to the poults and was a good one to take out. Just shows how close they come if you keep still!

Thanks,  never taken a fox with a shotgun so its interesting to see what people use in the feild not on paper if you know what i mean

If solely after Fox, I would recommend a 12 bore and a heavy load, something between 3 shot or BB. However, it’s surprisingly how many I have had with normal bird shot, but always made sure it was close range if I took the opportunity
