Another Trio

[Cupid Stunt 18]

Another call yesterday morning saw us out last night on the same smallholding as just over a week ago. The evening before one lamb had been decapitated & left whilst another had its belly ripped out.

 

Just a few paces from the car i flicked the lamp on & scanned the valley to show a fox sitting eyeing up a potential lamb dinner. It wasn't to be though as my mate chalked up the first of the night.

Another half an hour or so of walking we stopped at a good vantage point in a hedge & the call brought one running across the field at top speed. It didn't look like he was going to stop as he headed for the wood but a couple of squeaks changed his mind, up the hill & over the brow he came to be the second.

After another hour of walking & taking a break at the car we decided on one more circuit before calling time, this proved fruitless until the last field before dropping back down into the yard. It looked like we were just in time as the beam hit a fox that had singled out a ewe with twins & was making repeated attempts at diving in & striking one. It quickly decided doing a runner was a better option but didn't take long to swing around & come running back to the call, this time giving the chance of a shot & becoming the third of the night.

The last two nights on there we've had three both times, all dogs & taken in virtually the same spots.

Can I ask. Why the yellow lens on the scope?

There are few calls, a very old OLT one which seems to do best, a Raspy Coaxer & Pro Screamer from Primos, a button one which brought the last fox in the other night & a few homemade ones.

 

We usually don't get that many callouts during lambing time but this smallholding right in the middle of suburbia attracts good numbers of foxes thanks to some local residents & gets hit the worst.

 

bullmastiff, that is the lens cap.
