Foxing in the snow .


Recommended Posts

Went to a place last night where i do the ongoing fox control .A place i go whenever i like ,no need to call the farmer .Pulled up in the crunchy snow and got the kit together .A shine with the green filter made the glare off the snow worse so a straight white light was used .Got myself out in the middle of a large field and sat down.Let things quieten for a few minutes then started calling .A vixen shouted not far away and i think it was her that ran across the top of the field ,unimpressed by my efforts :hmm: A pair of eyes appeared exactly on her tracks and a gentle squeak had his attention .Another and he was comitted to his last trot .No need for the lamp as i could see him even at 150 yards in the scope ,plain as day .He trotted in lovely to about the 90 yard mark and i took him in the chest .The snow dulled the shot even more than usual i thought .Left the body by the incinerator .
