tulkyuk Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Excellent bullet placement John - put the pics up of the heart shot, i for 1 would like to see the result of a bullet strike. I have only seen it on deer that i've shot and never opened up a charlie to look. What time do you get up in the morning John?? you seem to be out all night then work all day on the farm - unless of course you've had your eyelids removed, and dont need sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikkamark Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Excellent read john Glad to see you found them alright if the bog was anything like the bog me and conor were out in to look for that fox its seriously dodgy :( You are one seriously dedicated foxer to follow up that fox over a mile you deserved that one You should try connecting the lamp to the terminals with the clamp to female ciggie connectors them deben ones are fairly sh*te once they get hot. Keep up the good work john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tikkamark Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 The bit I was in was worse than where ye were to be honest, real bouncy, just a skim of dead moss over a lake in reality. The thought of walking across that with a lamp that was on its last legs makes me cringe underneath the moss and growth on the surface god knows what depth it is your a brave man. That pic of the heart is very interesting it looks pretty small,is the foxes heart between the shoulder blades or just behind the front legs low down i have never been quite sure which of the two it is either shot will kill instant with the .223 but would be nice to know EXACTLY where it is.

Hi Mark, The heart is just behind the front legs, low down. I think it's just below the centre of the body. If you aim for the centre, the top should come off.

Ferret Master Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Headed home then, one stop on the way to leave foxy number two with number one. Everything packed away, and music kind of loud in the car (alright very very loud)... Big girl you are beautiful Walks in to the room Feels like a big balloon I said, 'Hey girls you are beautiful' Diet coke and a pizza please Diet coke I'm on my knees Screaming 'Big girls you are beautiful' I wasn't singing along, honest I pulled into the same spot I started out at, lamp on from the car just for the hell of it. Eyes 150 yards out which promptly took to it's heels. I'm emailing Galway Bay FM in the morning to complain foxes don't like their play list Possibly the most eventful night out I've had in a while! I believe MIKA sings that dreadful song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was out last night meself, with another nocturnal mad man , he has a swift, with T8, we set off out at 9:30pm and got back at 3am , lamping off a privat road, we coverd about 40 odd miles , he shot 18 silly foxes, i shot 4, using his rifle, some were so old and mangey, you could of run up to them and hit them with a stick Good night though, no pics, he does not like pics, very private man All the best Frank.

grasshopper Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well done lads Been out the last 2 nights,had 1 coming in 2 nights ago(1st we,d seen in a month on our shoot)but something spooked it,was lamping this time. We went last night and sat for over 3 hours with the NV and decoys out and callers going in same area. At 1 point we had rabbits,hares roe deer and 3 badgers in the field but no fox.Was hilarious to watch 1 badger come up to the Jack in the box deek,have a good look then turn and run like hell.So if your getting bother around your pens just put a few of these up also had a Tawny owl swoop onto it,luckily it turned off without stealing it.

Frank Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I know what you mean John about prefering the night time. Thanks about the foxes, but will not do that for a while, was knackred after it and the stench from them their dead foxes was unreal He is going skining the whole lot, as he keeps every skin he shoots, accept mangy ones, thank god. I have never seen so many foxes about the place, i seen 6 crossing the road on my way back home :o JOHN, i reckon, a trip over my way sometime, is called for. , bring camera, rifle and note pad , for the story afterwards.
