dave1372 83 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 It was that time of month when I do my bit to help out the elderly , so I headed out with Jimmy for a mooch about and we went and had a look at one of his new permissions. No sooner than we were on the track down to this small farm the lamp picked up a set of eyes so we got into position and let the 6.5x55 do the rest and down it went without a twitch: It was a decent sized dog fox. After that we headed to the chicken farm and did spot a couple of foxes which we spent a good half hour playing cat and mouse trying to anticipate where they were heading and eventually when we did get to a shootable position I totally humiliatingly fluffed what should have been an easy 100 yard shot :icon_redface: .
