paynts 0 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi Guys - I'm new here! thought that i might start a topic which is hopefully non-contentious it does seem on any usergroup forum ive ever been on that max speed and distance/time of any vehicle,object or animal will result in forum slanging matches and grown men spitting their dummies. SO! i thought i'd turn the bragging thing upside down I want to know the closest you've ever shot a fox!? I shot a fox at approx 20 yards last week - its the second cloest ive ever shot, the closest being about 10 yards, both were squeaked off the back of my hand and they were both shot using a night sight what are your personal closest fox shots cheers Paynts Quote Link to post

Guest Leveller Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Most of mine are point blank with the pistol Quote Link to post
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 8 yards, fox running into the call, couldn't stop him. Not easy shoot a running fox through an 8x scope at that range If I had the shotgun that night I would have let him in all the way. Quote Link to post
Tobias 0 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 About 10yards with the 223 in the middle of the day was sniffing around some gorse bushes i was stood behind, nice pop in the head. The shotgun was closer at about 4 paces away my friend was calling in the summer evening with his rifle on the hedge and i was stood beside a gate post and he was on the other end of the gate about to jump through until i let him have it and he rolled back about a meter,if i was,nt there he would of got away cuz my friend had his back to it while calling.

Deker 3,477 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'd have to go with Stubby, a few like that but to be honest, on the whole, I find most of mine very trap shy... one screwed me about for something like 3 months, *******!! Hey Ho, it isn't the movies you know, this is real life!! Anyway...in the normal course of events I'm honestly not sure, but I can certainly remember a handful inside 20 yards!! Quote Link to post
