Shaking Hands With The Enemy.

[Underdog 2,337]

Local farmer got in touch while he was mowing grass to say two fox's were on the field as he worked it!

That was yesterday and last night a cub right on dark busted me!

 

I returned tonight and found a large vixen on the field near dark.

Miraculously it came towards me and at about forty yards put one across its ribs.

A quick dash and over she went.

 

She was in good nick apart from a stinky open wound on top of her nose!

 

The night before returning home I let jess run the rabbits in the dark and she got one ?

[Underdog 2,337]

I was getting set up for a 100 yd shot but then she came my way. It was about 40yds +.

Fair play mate. What sort of calls do you use

[Underdog 2,337]

I use my hand or a cheap electric thing.

I did not call this one in.

Now ain't it nice to make new friends?

I personally love my zastava mate its so reliable and I trust it every shot. I had a steyr pro mountain before that and although a very accurate rifle once I changed shooting position it was very inconsistent Imo. Probably the stock flex problem. But this zastava has never let me down, never had a runner and up till now touch wood never had a missed fox with it
