magman Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Had a call yesterday morning from one of the farmers ,a bloody fox has had me chickens Took all except the cockerel which was to big to go under the fence , made arrangements for him to stake it out on dusk . before setting off the cloud cover left and with almost a full moon i felt like staying at home Arrived at 6.30 parked up windows down and the long wait began ,7.30 nothing 8.30 nothing 9.30 nothing 10.30 nothing 11.30 yep you guessed it packed it in and went to do a bit of lamping at another farm was nice to get warm on the journey . Spotted an old friend that's been playing hide and seek with me for six months ,had him in shoot able range a few time's but never a safe back stop . But last night he went a field further than normal and was caught out in the middle of a field of half cut beans ,game on . Rifle up and ready lamp on and he runs into the standing beans then stops and lie's down 10 ft in . Picked up his eye's ,then head got nice and steady then sent a 55 grn blitzking between his eye's (crack ) job done . A dog fox about 140 yards out ( i will miss that old ****** ) Camera phone pic's so not the best Headed home and got into bed for about 1pm only to find myself getting back out of bed a 6am to see if the fox has been to the staked out cockerel ,yep you guessed it gone sat about till 8am when the farmer calls me in for a brew . it was still there at 3 this morning he tells me ,so i no he called between 3am and 6am . Put a stink tube down and will keep it topped up for a week then return . Although i caught up with 1 of the fox's looks like I've gained a new one MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Sweepy Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hell no I had the boys all to myself when they were little.Because of Sweepys work he was never here. And now they are older. Its good for them to be around dad more then being with me.(just imagine what they would be like having me as the role model) And its nice i now get time to myself too. And when i do get bored and fed up . Well i just get camo up and join them. xxxxSuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
