Blackbart Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 5 Foxes this week and it could have been more if it wasnt for fenceposts jumping out to save them or them just not staying still long enough.I had another 4 in the crosshairs but as i said circumstances were aganst me.One lucky dog,only about 150 yards away moved right to left about 50 yards and stopped perfect broadside on,BANG !...and he trotted away up the field But i tell you what,the fence post that was a couple of mm below the sight picture and only 10 foot infront of me will never walk again it was hit hard and in a bad way. They were all dogs bar the one i didnt get a pic of as the camera battery decided to die on me. The first is a dog taken at 160 yards mooching about in a stubble field and a clean chest shot. The second another dog and a similar range 155 again sniffing about in stubble. The third was also a dog but was sitting watching some sheep from the hedge row,shot was 172 yards. The final dog was curled up in a ball and was neck shot at 243 yards.It was going to be neck or head as that was all that was showing of him.

Blackbart Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Just back in from lamping and 22 and 23 bit the bullet tonight(one of them literally)A headshot at 126 yards and a very pleasing head on chest shot at 268 yards.Both dogs and the chest shot one was a monster,very big and very heavy.They were both sitting watching sheep ! The mass lambing must be near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavman Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Blimey, fantastic work, there must be a factory churning out charlies near you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 The vixen could have been counted as 3 or 4 if you know what i mean... but with 2 chicken farms,a pheasant shoot and now lambs.The more thats taken care of now the less problems they can cause later.
