foxes hunting pattern
IrishFoxer replied to IrishFoxer's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Topped up the bait before going to bed had some bait I used from pike fishing so I staked it down nice stinky fish injected with fish oils This one was seen on Saturday and during the night. Came back from a meal and quick scan when I came back low and behold foxy was there at the bait ran for the rifle set it up and she was still munching away I made a mistake and shouted at the fox to make stand but it ran. -

got my chance last night vixen came at 9 o clock same one I've being seen straight to the bait little bit jumpy let her settle down and took the shot and down she went. -
have this fox coming to the field behind the house i have released pheasants around these fields being baiting this fox for a few days and seen him Saturday night i couldn't shoot because the backstop was questionable seen him a few nights out in the same paddock but i havnt got my rifle setup as always , haven't seen him since that night as i have put fresh bait out., do foxes patterns change due to weather.

Getting the smell of fox of your hands
IrishFoxer replied to howdeeposxxt's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
they have no place in the hunting community if they are doing that simple. -
i have blew out the heart of a fox before he ran for 20 yards but ran dead sometimes they run as their muscle memory takes over, most cases have being runners but they are dead and just fall over i always aim for the center mass of a fox heart and lung shot never go for a head shot as i fear i will blow off a jaw and worse it will starve to death at least when i aim for center mass its more forgiving.

i do pull shots i'm human every body misses but only to see a fox run away healthy and not wounded and to become educated, 220 is a flat round and would knock a fox on his arse so i don't know pal even the hydro-static shock of the 220 swift would kill a fox out right., call a spade a spade here like there is some sort of stigma but f**k it trying to explain something here is like flogging a dead horse.

mother earths hand wipes good old fashioned grass and wipe away its the smell of success. -
ok i have shot foxes with a shotgun using lead bb's in a heavy load, 223 ballistic tip bullets and 243 soft points designed for expansion and quick kills and i never had a leg blown off i aim for the engine room or front on, so i dont know what you have shot foxes with before but its sounds like you are telling porkies mate.

every method if done right is effective no matter what discipline you are involved in.
