Sausagedog 7,381 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Good going lads. Mine was not as exciting. I never saw the one from yesterday morning after waiting from early dark thirty to 8:30am. So afternoon I went so.e where else and called foxes but got busted again! I moved off and took a 100yd rabbit rested shot. Using 20gn cci fmj today aswell. The pheasants were telling me a tale along a bracken hill side with scrub birch on it so I decided to meander my way along it. Sure enough I spotted one moving about 80yds away and above me. Off hand I took aim. Made a noise to stop him and shot. It turned and ran back but just as I was about to lose sight it rolled over and all four legs were up in the air. If your wondering what these fmj bullets do this is the exit hole. It's about 10mm in diameter. This fox was upwind from small lambs and ewes a little over 200 yds away! Heavy enough to take one too so that's a job well done. 8 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 14,636 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I give up with him. I went up to the shoot tonight with the lad who has served many a fox shooting ban, didn’t see anything over the piggeries so went to the bottom of the farm field, caller out for 5 minutes and a fox came in to our left, he got on his dog sh*t quad sticks and the fox clocked him and headed back towards the oak wood, I stopped it with a quick go on the caller and he rattled his sticks a bit more and took a shot, straight over the top of it, off it went flat out into the wood, I could happily snap them bloody sticks 1 2 Quote Link to post

Stavross 14,636 Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 He seems to be able to talk me round Dave, as if it’s going to be better this time, but never fails to let me down, at least he never went full auto this time firing off rounds all over the place, after I said “ you missed” in my disappointed voice, he said “put a vixen call on, see if it comes back out” the speed it ran off, it would be to far away to hear it, never mind, he’s only made my job harder, I like a challenge 2 Quote Link to post

FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Seeing as it was a nice Spring morning I headed out for an armed ramble . The farm was very quiet with me only seeing 1 squizzer which I bagged. I ended up picking up spent cartridges again but seem to be nearly on top of them now Had a bit craic with the farmer as was watching a field of 200 corvids on the fresh spread muck on the field which will be drilled in a couple of weeks. Should be good as plenty corvids about and a few woodies. 4 Quote Link to post
