Smashing stuff Fox shot, a very well done sir.

You have done better then me this morning, thats for sure.

I was out on a call too, but it chucked it down as soon as i got settled in.

Out again in the morning, see what i can get.

 

Fantastic picture by the way.

 

Great to get all the family, a humane job indeed.

at least you got all the family and not all just the cubs great shooting no one can have a go at you because you were doing your job in keeping the farmer happy and keeping your permission, and doing a humane job about it

Your right mate people wont like it.

The difference with your post is you described it as a cull and not sport or big time shooting.

You have explained why and how you went about it.

Not a pleasant job but some times a necessary one.

that shot on the bigger fox seems pretty far back, is this the right place to shoot them, not knocking your shooting just curious.

yes you are right but she was quartering away, and she droped on the spot i knew the bullet was going to hit the vitals so it was going to be a humane shot i had to take the shot otherwise she was into cover and i may not have got another go at her and i was there to do a job

well in mate job well done :whistle:

[Guest baldie]

Thats a good post, and good pics mate, i wouldnt worry about the shot on the vixen, it isnt that far back.Using a proper calibre, ensure that shots like that kill, almost every time, i would say, it probarbly clipped the back of her lungs anyway.

Way to git-r-done Foxshot, was you using a call to bring them in, you've had better luck than me, we've had some hot weather here, cann't even catch a crow sitting in these hot fields and nothing coming to the calls, guess they are feeding at night and trying to stay cool in the swamp during the day.

nutshot the comb raiser was purchaced from my local gun club however rifle-cases.co.uk sell some good ones / rabbiter well spoted part of the lung was showing and my rifle is a 223 using 55gr v-max , as for EWOK'S question i knew where the set was so it was just a mater of getting somewhere in cover and waiting
