radio1ham Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 well thought i would go shooting and so i did was lovely hot day in northumberland thought i would get me self a couple of rabbits anyway got to the fields where i usually shoot them and guess what not a rabbit to be had due to seeing 5 yes 5 foxes in the fields which pretty much dampened my rabbit shooting so i pretty much gave up after seeing them running around so roll on to when and if im alowed to have a 243 rifle then il get rid of them just a matter of catching farmer to sign my letter for using a 243 already have one farmers signature on a letter so wont be long now with any luck then il be rid of them foxes try to get close to them with the shot gun but could not get anywhere near them so back to the car for a drink of juice and a bite to eat before setting of back home well atleast i had a nice drive and a walk around the fields whislt getting my juice and chicken and bacon pie out the boot of my car the farmers collie sneaked into me car and just lay on the floor on passenger side of car (cheeky little bliter) and went to sleep aswell so just left her there for a while till i decided to drive back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 There is more cubs about this year than i have ever seen before,they are everywhere.I flattened one the other night in the car just by whittle dene ponds,about six month old.One of about 15 i seen over the weekend driving about.Dont try and get close to them with the shotgun,just tuck in somewhere and squeek and let them come to you.If you come accross a cub by himself chances are he will come running towards you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just dropping into say hi, before i went to zero my .222 in. as said, cubs everywhere this time of year - try getting near on in January....
