venomviper 129 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) hi ya folks feels like ages since i last did a post well here we go as i was chatting to karpman(ryder) on here tonight well rubbing it in so to speak as he couldnt come out for a shoot lol only joking buddy i went out for a couple of hours lamping well the start of the night was great a nice clear golf course by 17.00hrs so off i went to a couple of little hides that i know were the rabbit come out to play hummm just the one came out so as i could still see a little i set the reg'd ultra up to the cross hair on the brain of the rabbit and thawck off she went with one hell of a dance and i thought came to rest so i stayed where i was to see if any others came out a good 1 hour went by then i noticed something moving around were the rabbit came to rest so i slowly put the gun to my shoulder and set the lamp on and there was mister charlie and as you all know i always have a shotgun with me in case of things like this so i turned the lamp off and loaded the shotgun and waited i knew he would have the rabbit given chance plus they all walk along the fence line so he would come to me sooner or later and yes he did by now i had set the ultra up on the bipod and my bag so it was just the right hight so when i turned it on i would have the chance to take Mr charlie fox and so i did one shot to the head with a 3"magnum shotgun at 15mtrs very clean head shot and not even a twitch that was it for here i thought i went over to get the rabbit and there was her hole the blood and fur was all over the hole that i didnt see was there oh well it happens to all of us so after bagging the fox i tried another spot by this time i saw 4 more foxes running around dam well this mean only one thing if these are about there aint going to be anymore rabbits feeding so with that i packed up and started to walk back to be picked up by the wife but i really enjoyed my night out and enjoyed winding karpman up to who i must admitt is a true gent a nice bloke to chat to and look forward to going out for a shoot with very soon i hope you enjoy it lads ps please read full post as i dont agree with shooting foxes with air rifles this fox was taken by a shotgun regards shay Edited January 31, 2011 by venomviper Quote Link to post

venomviper 129 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 hi ya ste as you see him there is how he fell dropped and that was it a good fox is a dead fox in my books and he is proper dead lol he didnt feel a thing as you can see nice and clean and dead in seconds cheers for the nice comment though ste i might try and get out for a while tomorrow as well and get the others too as i like to shoot the rabbit and i aint having Mr fox having all of them lol shay Quote Link to post
rossi_j 99 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Was it a semi auto or did you get the full magnum kick out of it? Lol People think that range is easy its harder than it looks I found, I find it easyer to swing at things at 30 to 50yds than rifle it at a sitter, I need all the spread I can get buddy lmao You are right buddy foxes need controlling, me and my mate went and did a couple a while ago that took kittens would you belive, thats what the land owner said and I have no reason to doubt him. .atb. .ste.

venomviper 129 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 hi ya ste yeah ranges can be hard and at night even harder with a shottie the 3"magnums are through a 410 stealth shottie at 15mtrs as they have a very close group and not much spread the video on a older post proved that my son brenden shooting the stealth shottie at a rail sleeper at a lased 15mtrs the groups were a little bigger than a golf ball so i use that now for close range foxes i wouldnt go over that range though with the 410 but when i have the 12 bores with me i will go to 30mtrs if that using super game 4's a good kick to them though and ste me old pal i always gets a full magnum kick out of the foxes matey lol shay Quote Link to post
