    The 1st picture was the only one to be shot with a 22/250, the others were shot with a 223, would be great if we could tell how far out the Foxes were going to be before we left home, we could then take the correct calibre, as i have been shooting foxes for over 30 years i think i have earned the right, to say IN MY OPINION the best fox calibre is 22/250, for any distance between 50 and 400 yards.

    Good suggestion that, it's worth a punt. I've only heard T8 and an ASE, the T8 was quieter. Still pissing myself about rust with my T8 but so far so good Jackson rifles will give him any new moderator he wants against the old T8, 40% discount, doesnt need to be a T8... I spoke to them yesterday regarding mine, lifetime of 40% discount, as long as you send them the old one back along with a copy of your firearms cert. to show you have a fullbore on the ticket

    Calling in Foxes using your own voice/squeek is very easy from 5 fields away, not because i am good at it, the very opposite, the fox is very good at hearing, as most nocturnal animals are. cheers jimmy

    Called in this Vixen from 5 fields away (it was hard work) getting her to come in, but i managed in the end this was shot with a Tikka 223 with a S&B 1.5-6x42 on top, shot at a ranged distance of 185 yards on the top of the head. This was one of the better shots i have witnessed as my mate who was shooting stated that he had placed the shot on the head, and when we retrieved the fox, thats where he had hit it

    Shot it up at the new place Dave, seen the other 3 but far to misty for a shot, going out Sunday night a good breeze blowing so no mist will settle, post any pictures if i get any. cheers Jimmy
  13. murphymax
    Never got a chance at any Dave, seen 3 but it was far to misty for taking a shot, so ended up calling it a night, even forgot the key to open the gate at Jasons farm not that it mattered , going out tonight (Sunday) might see you if you are out and about. Jimmy

    I think he means to miss them so when he is on his lonesome, he can use his nightvision, he knows i hate the Bloody thing, as i never see any of the action !!!

    Less of the elderly.. wise cracks.. patience is a virtue yong man, you learn this with age, one day you will learn to wait for the fox to come to you, and not try and shoot as soon as you see the eyes. HE IS STILL LEARNING....its hard work

    It was big Dave, its the one i shot at and missed when we were out last week,up at Toms had a shot twice at it with Jim, but it had to be my brother who shot it dead @ 40 yards though, at least i can say i had an idea of where to move to, so we could head it off, suppose i was familiar with its habits after 3 failed attempts to nail it. Free Sunday Night if your up for a wander. Babysitting Sunday ! Up for Monday night though? Monday Night is fine for me Dave,catch up later. cheers jimmy

    It was shot by someone I took lamping last night, it was shot with a .243 (I edited my post when I realised I said it 'wasn't'), I think he said he was using 90gr v-max. I have seen plenty of shot foxes and I am not sure how the bullet hit but that is the biggest exit wound I have ever seen ! Its not an exit wound.... the Fox must ave been looking straight on and the bullet has gone down the side of the rib cage and fragmented hence the damage. If it had been an exit wound , you wouldnt been able to see the rib cage so easily. I will keep you and Murray right

    Canny dae it !!!

    Original post has now been updated, have a look guys. cheers Jimmy p.s. was using my mates 223, so not used to distances for long range shots with this rifle, all will be revealed when you read the updated post. 300yards my 243 would have nailed it !!!
