First fox last night


Recommended Posts

I decided to brave the wind and rain last night and go out after my first fox. I arrived at the farm around 10pm, it was quite foggy and the range of the blitz 240 was cut down to around 100 yards. After about half an hour at the farm the fog started to clear. Scanning across a field I picked up a pair of eyes, I extended my Harris bipod out to full length to take a sitting shot. I located the eyes and cranked the zoom up to confirm that it was a fox, but I couldnt take the shot because like an idiot I hadnt fitted my lens covers to my scope and there was a lot of water on the lens. Managing to wipe the lens with the inside of my sleeve, I then couldnt locate the fox although a quick squeak on the back of my hand revealed her position, I chambered a round, steadied myself and sent the 55 SP on its way. Instantly I watched the fox fold up through the scope. We located the fox to find that it was a vixen in good condition apart from the perfectly placed boiler room shot . Sorry about the photo quality they were taken off a phone.
