brace of foxes

[hw100sniper 2]

After doing the rounds of a few farms and not being able to get a shot at charlie we were starting to think it was going to be 1 of they nights.On arriving at another farm I had a quick scan with the lamp and immediatly picked up a set of eyes that said fox but the height of the ground wasnt right (it was 6 feet tall)a quick look with the binos confirmed it was a fox sitting on the boundary wall off an old ruin.We drove round the field and gave a small squeak and there was her mouching about .I took aim at centre chest as her head was moving constantly but just as I was pulling the trigger she moved so the bullet hit just inside her leg ,after a back flip she tried to make her way away from us and I had to shoot her while running.

 

 

 

 

Nothing else showed here so we went off to another farm and again as soon as I lamped there was 1 sitting ,it was to far out for a shot and he wouldnt squeak in so we tried driving closer in the hope that it wouldnt bolt and like a good boy he stayed ,lined him up in the sights and took a head shot which dropped him straight away ,then just as we were moving of to get him he started twitching so I put another 1 in him just to be on the safe side.

 

 

 

 

 

He was a real fat dog fox the heaviest ive seen for a while ,he wont be stealing any more chickens of the farm.(heres another pic of him just to try and show the size of him)

Good going Billy ! Both nice sized foxes .... maybe you could have taken a photo of them with your rifle lying across them and used a soft focus to make the photos more respectful for danebrewer10 :whistling:

Well Dave had thought of that but thought why the hell should I please everyone with artistic photos when your pushed for time(and no very good wi a camera) The farmers are just glad they are not there to take any more chichens or lambs.

good foxes they well fed too

[kenny14 656]

Nice one

[hw100sniper 2]

Cheers guys they were both well fed especially the second 1 ,the field it was in is near a good few houses .I was wondering if it may have been getting a few free meals.

[THE POACHER 13]

i would of thought so by the looks of them

[hw100sniper 2]

Maybe I didnt word it right poacher .I wondered if the householders thought they had a pet fox as it didnt look as if it could chase a rabbit or mouse.Ive seen at first hand another fox being fed on the road uo to 1 of our permissions she stands there about 9 most nights rattling a bowl waiting for it to come for its food.

Well Done mate that second one is some size

look on the bright side mate, that fox getting fed by hand is not a problem for the farmer and if it is all you have to do is rest the gun up shake a bowl of food and Bang. easy pest control

It wouldnt be to bad if we could get it far enough away from her front door that she wouldnt see us
