AndyCM Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Was out again tonight, tried three large fields, with no luck - a little calling but mainly looking around only. It was a bit foggy so limited visibility. No customers, so one last field to try - the one that produced a result last Wednesday. Not expecting much but as I approach the spot where I shot the vixen there are a pair of eyes ! On the roof for the shot - lamping alone this time and organising the battery, two lamps, rifle and binoculars and trying to be silent took longer than was ideal. When I looked again it was still there - great. Decided to call and it went behind a tree so kept looking with the binoculars (lots of moon so didn't need the lamp now). After waiting 5 mins it reappeared where it had come from - ok no calling this time, no lamp either. Binoculars, safe shot, in the cross hairs - quiet sqeek to get it to stop and look. Another vixen in the bag. Maybe next time I'll go straight to this field - that's 4 in the last few weeks and last year it was double figures from this area. The foxes like it here, so do I Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Nice bit of work I'd bet ya that if you go straight to that field it'll be empty, foxy likes making us work a bit methinks. How were ya warm as toast, or did the sarcasm go out over my head We were out tonight and it wasn't one bit warm here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, It was about +5C and seeing as I was out on Wednesday at -3C / -4C the change in temperature (I wore the same amount of layers) was warm in comparison. I could feel my fingers when on the trigger Managed to bust the cigar socket in the car (it does not appear to be a fuse, I've checked those) so will need to get that fixed. I think you are right about foxy making us work Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
