GOT HIM FOXDROPPER

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

Went to check the lambing fields friday evening and as I was talking to the farmer I spotted a fox skulking down the hedgerow in the next field , but too far for a shot.

 

Laid up til dark but it never returned.

 

Was back on the ground 6am the next morning , had a good wander about but no sightings of charlie just 3 roe does.

 

So to plan B , out with the lamp last night.

 

Lamped a fox in a field of gorse but it was hiding behind a hawthorn bush and I couldnt get a clear shot at it , so after about 20 mins playing it with about 4 different calls we gave a very harsh screaming call and it lifted its head, I could just make out a gap in the bush and put the bullet straight between its eyes.

 

Off to the farmers house for a cup of tea , he was well pleased.

Bloody hell mate spot on, you forgot to mention range, not that it really matters, if it was a tricky snap shot through twigs fair play even if it was only 50 yds. :thumbs-up:

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

I guess the distance was about 120 yards

thank you for your kind mention of the man behind the lamp and the man who was making all those noises for 20 minutes so that you could shoot the fox in the head the team is what put the fox away not down to the individual who is pulling the trigger thats the easy bit

i have always said the very same thing, its the lamp and squealer man that does the hard work, the best bit is when you have to shout to stop it

Cracking shot mate,you dont see many like that un,well done

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

Cheers lads .................I totally agree that the lamp man is very important , that is why I normally lamp most times out as it is very hard to get a good lamp man.

 

I lamp more times than I shoot these days.

 

Woodga , I was very grateful for your assistance on the night , it is definitely about a good partnership when lamping as we have testified on many a night in the past.

 

Good teams get good results
