murphymax 9 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Well lads was out for about 4 hours last night and not much in the way of Foxes, the one we got, has been shot at 3 times if my memory sreves me well.its always to far away for a good shot always in excess of 400yarsd, well last night same thing spotted it again in its usual patchabout 800 yards away in a boggy part of a moor on one of the farms i shoot, tried calling but NO CHANCE,so i decided to try and head it off , and moved the truck to where i thought it might be heading, 5 mins later we are in position a couple of little squeeks and it popped its head up 30 yards away , it was trying to make a quick exit, but it had a small burn to cross and a fence (square mesh type) before it was out into the open fields, my younger brother took aim and wham one dead sneaky FECKER, was a good shot even though it was only 40 yards away as he had to shoot through the fence,had a crack at an easy one about yards out but as soon as i pulled the trigger IT MOVED....BAST@RD MISSED. there is a story to how i missed as the person who shot the one in the picture SQUEEKED when i was just about to pull the trigger, enough to make leave sharpish as it was a cub from the previous night where we shot its mum and da, hence why the squeek was enough to spook it. cheers guys Jimmy.

murphymax 9 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Looks quite a decent size It was big Dave, its the one i shot at and missed when we were out last week,up at Toms had a shot twice at it with Jim, but it had to be my brother who shot it dead @ 40 yards though, at least i can say i had an idea of where to move to, so we could head it off, suppose i was familiar with its habits after 3 failed attempts to nail it. Free Sunday Night if your up for a wander. Quote Link to post
