Foxing Five

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

Haven't been out foxing for what seems like ages, too busy stalking and rough shooting. So decided to have a trip out yesterday in search of Reynard.

Had a great night accounting for 5 

One of them was a big dog which did a 100-yard death run down the field after taking a 100 grainer from the .243 This got me thinking, I wonder how many foxes are presumed missed when actually doing a death run? There was no reaction to the shot, it just looked like I had missed, just as well I followed it in the beam.

40 years ago i  i bolted a Rabbit into a Purse  net !i picked it up and broke its neck , tipped it out the net and in an instant it was off and away, it ran for  20 / 30 yards then started to wobble then stopped in a crouching  position  stone dead ,
