After choosing a 22lr with which two foxes got shot & injured but managed to drag themselves off & you couldn't find?? We've all missed & not everyone is bang flop, but this just sounds like bad choices by both of you, should have gone to pub after 243 missed. 

I'd have kept this one to myself Mark, not posted on a public forum ffs

 

Not a brilliant night I agree but keeping it real...sometimes things go wrong. Let he who has never missed or fecked up cast the 1st stone.

Both foxes were picked, 1 last night and the other this morning so a positive result in the end.

Just wish I had been shooting, would have had all 7

Can’t blame the c50 mark if it’s that bad WTF is it on a rifle for 

totally irresponsible on the shooter’s behalf 

his c50 must be one In thousand that he thinks is fecked , and I doubt that

Glad you find it amusing with all 7 and a smiley face

Was the c50 on the 22?

How far were the 22 shots?

I don't have an issue with using a 22, just trying to work out what if any is the common denominator.

Not an issue but bit staggered that after missing or injuring with a 222/250 and then a 243 that they thought a 22 rimfire was the solution!! Respect one's quarry.

To be fair, it would be tempting to get the job done with them being there and then.

They may of been aware that or worried that they may of moved off and then the opportunity lost etc etc.

Something is a miss for sure. To have two rifles off, maybe three....there has to be a link there!

Why didn't you have a go? Rule out operator error or issue with equipment....

Not a good nights shooting I agree but yes it was a positive result as 2 foxes were shot ffs

It would have been devastating it they weren't picked.

The reason we went back with the .22 is because had no faith in the centrefires .

My mate was sure he had hit the fox so we went back to dispatch it ...showing respect.

Which is what we did

Now stop criticising...the night didnt go to plan but we sorted it.

Try getting out a bit more before advising  others ....part time wannabe

So the two foxes being dead was the most important issue, since you eventually achieved that, that's a positive night for you? Just let me check this - one fox shot and injured then lost. Some time later its shot again, injured again & only found hours later after trying to drag itself down a rabbit hole. Second fox shot with a rimfire, injured and lost...lost all night with a wound from a 22lr....a 22lr! Found the following day having died in the night from its injury. Those are the facts?? Please highlight the fuckińg positives in that, you muppet????

No the C50 was on the .22/250 

The .22 shots were around  40 yds keeping it close. 

To be fair the the 1st fox only went 10 yds but I couldn't find it as was partially down a hole and this was searching with the thermal.

It wasnt found hours later , making things up again. Probably no more than 20 minutes from 1st shot to 2nd shot. The 2nd shot from the .22 was fatal just couldn't find it although it was dead.

As stated before not perfect but I am telling it in real terms , could easily just say went out , shot 2 foxes Perfect

Shooting isn't perfect sometimes but you wouldnt know being an armchair hunter

I don't get out as often as you, that's a given. I'm working about 60hrs a week at minute. Any free time I spend with my kids while they still wanna spend time with their daddy. And then I squeeze in some foxing between all that. But if the alternative was being so arrogant that I couldn't accept any criticism & realise I'm making myself sound like even more of a prick than ever before (and there's been plenty of examples already!) then I'd rather never go out again.
