Back out for Charlie again.............

[martin 332]

Well,the fox I had the other day wasn't the one trying to get into the hen house,so,I was out again today to try to settle it for good.I got there and,I had a premonition(no really)I just knew that there was going to be a fox in the gateway high on the hill,and,as I rounded the corner as if by magic there it was,but,there was no way of getting closer,and,I didn't want to try a squeek(don't know why,just didn't seem right)so,it was up on the sticks at 167yds,the fox was facing me,and downhill,so,I put the crosshairs on the white of it's chest and squeezed off a 100grainer which slammed home,but,she ran on about 25yds and out of sight.For a second I thought I had missed her,but,I was sure that the report I got back was a very solid thwack,so I climbed the hill and looked for any signs,and there was a small lump of meat,which confirmed what I already knew(a hit)and,as I searched wider there was a drop of blood,and then there was a trail of blood as if someone had dragged a bloody mop through the grass,and it ended 25yds away with the vixen in a deep tractor rut......amazing how these animals can keep going after such a devastating hit.I have an immense amount of respect for the fox,they have an incredible ability to survive under extreme conditions...........

The cubs(as she was milky)will be sought out and sorted,but,I will not be putting pics of that on here.............Martin
