grasshopper Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 1 of our shoot members is in another shoot and they,ve got a few fox about.They shot 1 and saw another 2 whilst combining a field of rape a few days ago.Was asked if i,d go up so reluctantly said aww go on then He showed me the field which had a large tree on a brow in the middle of it.This will do says i and proceeded to explain and show him the NV.It,s even better on the scope i says ,you get the magnification,here i,ll show you.Attached the Archer and looks through to ensure it,s ok and see,s 2 bright eyes coming through the hedge had a bit of a squeak but no real interest,got him to stop momentarily side on 120yds or so crack and down he goes.Shoot member thinks this is awesome as he was watching through my other NV. We retrieved the fox (dog) returned to the tree only to see another 1 coming up the hedge,this 1 was not interested in any call and as there was a slight dip up the side of the field he was really hard to pick out.Also as with the 1st being in stubble the infra red laser makes his outline blend in a bit,but could follow him ok.It just wouldn,t stop for more than a second so took a chance and missed.He jumped,then carried on as if nothing had happened but slipped through the hedge and away. After examining the 1st fox it looks like rifle is shooting high so called it a night.Will check zero and we,re going up on Sunday again GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazza Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 If the rape stubble is high, it can be a real pain in the **** to shoot into. Well done on the fox, I'm sure the other one will soon be having his mug shot taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
