FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) When I got up this morning the ground was white with snow but by the time I arrived at the shoot it was dull and drizzling . But as I was there anyway I went for a wander , shortly afterwards the drizzle stopped I had to stop for a crap and as I pulled my pants back up I noticed a fox had come through the hedge and was looking away from me at a distance of only 3 yds , as I tried to raise my rifle it spotted me and jumped into the hedge but it was still looking at me so as I looked through my scope I couldnt see anything but a blur as the scope was set at 8x mag , anyway I fired where I thought the fox was but had no idea if Id shot it or not luckily on inspection I found a dead dog fox lying, shot at a distance of 10yds. I continued my rounds through a wood and could smell the strong fragrance of charlie all the way through. As I came to the end of the wood I peered into the field and spotted charlie trotting away from me , I dropped to the floor , gave him a shout and bowled another dog fox over at 140 yds. 1st fox shot at 8am , 2nd fox shot at 9am Edited January 23, 2009 by FOXHUNTER Quote Link to post

It seems to be a good year round here plenty foxes & last night when i walked the dogs there was a pair calling to each other. The night i was out at the geese in the moonlight i could hear 3 diffrent dog foxes round me & a vixen. Quote Link to post
