GOOD NIGHT OUT.

[Guest Frank]

Picked my freind up at 9 pm, quick check on the zero, of my CZ .223 and off.

It was his turn to lamp, as i lamped last week and he got 11. :thumbs-up:

 

The farmer on this farm, wanted the foxes gone before he went lambing, as he lost 14 to foxes last year.

He was on to me to start soon, so i have to keep him happy.

 

The night was foggy in places, but i knew this might happen, so had my bait down for the past week, high up in the valley.

We got into the hide, eventually, after being frightened half to death by a grumpy badger.

Gave it a miniute or 2 to settle, then on with the lamp and their, 2 foxes, munching away, squeeze boom , pop, first down. Second one ran, crossed a large river and sat on the otherside of the bank, ranged it, 221 yds , ok, sdeady, dont moove, whizz, THUD, number 2. .

 

Waited for 1/2 hour, lamp back on, another, number 3, keep coming mateys.

 

After waiting nearly 40 odd mins and nowt, we got the hot flask of coffe out, warmed us up no end.

Lamp back on, 2 more, feeding away, FLAMING nora, where are they coming from?

Got first one, the second began running towards us, totally confused, i shouted, HAY, he stood a split second, BOOOOM, echo, echo :11: , number 5 in the bag, top stuff.

 

The fog started getting worse, by then, so we called it a night went back to the farm.

Their we met, one happy farmer, who said, 'Dont stop coming men.'

He kept us their a while, telling tails of ghosts ect

 

Pic below, of the charlies, could not retreive number 5, as it was a 2 mile rough country hike to the bridge, to cross the river, so i will collect him tommorow, in daylight.

Remmy, well done sir.

 

Went back for the 5th fox today and searched the area, got soaked. No fox, had seen where it droped and some blood.

Got back to the farm, the farmer, who i could not get hold of, explained that their was no need of me going down and looking for it, as he buried him this morning. :11:

 

He also gave me a nice fry up and hot sweet tea for my troubles.

your right about the luck frank ,we often travel over 200 mile round trip to shoot fox's ,ocasionaly only getting two fox's as was the result last weekend ,then we can travel about 100 mile and shoot over half a dozen & be back home by five or six in the morning
