Back up at the shoot

Weather changes after Wednesday. Winds from the north.

I'm hoping it kicks the fox rut in.

I hope your right SD

It’s looking like the start of the proper cold weather is on Thursday up here, with a bit of luck we’ll hear a bit more calling, there’s been very little so far, there’s nothing better than getting a call back and wait to see if you can draw them in

Ohhhhhh yes stav 

I’ve not been out for a few weeks , but Saturday nite will be a long haul

I move in on them when I hear them or listen for a rout they run on.

I think I’ll be putting a full shift in at the sheep farm if we are in for a good frost, maybe a quick trip up this week with some fishy goodness on a hedge back or two before the weekend

I’ve given up at looking at weather apps there all shite and usually wrong:(

Im out rat bashing now no calling round this way which is strange cos they were well early last year and I had cubs running about at end of March

Well , after my close encounter with the “famous fox “ this morning ( Foxdropper and fox hunter , it’s the one in the video dancing around with the Muntjac) . I apologise to everyone else that I can’t share the footage of the fox chasing and playing, yes playing , with a munty . My IT skills don’t stretch to uploading videos from WhatsApp onto here . 
                  So tonight was blowing a fair bit and dark and damp . A good night to foil my nemesis, who has been spotted by everyone . I was to be honest getting sick of hearing people saying “ saw that fox again this morning “ . 
        I set the caller up with a cottontail distress and sat back with a cuppa . 5 minutes went past before “famous “ turned up . Well , you don’t need me to tell you how it turned out , needless to say , the sightings will probably stop now ..... thank f@ck !!! Oh and by the way , it was a vixen .

Good job, they are in nice condition this time of year, all readying themselves for some loving

Giving you the run around & causing bother; should have guessed it'd be a female!

Glad you caught up with "famous" . I've just been out for a couple of hours local , there is only 1 fox on this ground and it's very shy. Saw nothing until I got back to the car and there it was sitting on the bank , no chance of a shot and it was gone.
