milo 74 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Had a phone call yet again landowner getting heavey loses with his stock,we called up there at stupid o,clock in the morning,no lurchers just terriers and guns purley pest control purposes,checked a very big earth dog found and done some running around,showed 8.4--then 2.6 on the ortovox stood back with my two guns awaiting and out he bolts down hill with two shots on him flatened by a young lad and this happed to be his first fox he shot with his gun,it was a good 50 yarder and running flat out the lad took his time and carried it out well has there was a gun just in front of him and his line of fire...well chuffed Quote Link to post
milo 74 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) When the public say that foxs cant or dont take lambs,chickens etc..take a look at the size of that fox in my picture and compare it to my terrier box but take into account the fox is soaking wet,yes its a dog fox but when you actully hold him up he weighed a good 20lb+ and with ivory to match,and i have no doubt in my mind that he would have no problem in taking stock(the picture dosent do him justice)the area where he was taken has held some good foxs over the last few seasons they are in xellent coodition and very large...imo the public only see cute cudly foxs,but in a matter of fact these are at the top of the food chain with out doubt Edited March 21, 2010 by milo Quote Link to post
