Tikka 260 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi All This unlucky fox came bimbling along at last light, just as I was preparing to call it quits in a ladder seat, noticed the limping and generally uncertain movement, so took it out, nothing long range, about 120 metres, but it looks as tho I might actually have done it a favour.

dogfox Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Well done.I have had a fox like this and a few deer aswell.It might be RTA or it could have been that it was caugth up on a fence and snapped his leg.I know that most of the deer that have had a back leg missing,that is the reason.

kip270 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Good Shooting, just shows how they can adapt and still carry on with life, you have to admire them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 More than likely an RTA, nature is a wonderfully adaptive thing as the fox bar its 3 legs looks remarkably fit. Cheers dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I have been out with Varminter and my son when he shot a foxes back leg off and it ran through the cauliflower, we followed it and when found it was just walking away from us so my son finished it off with a shot gun. It's amazing how much punishment these animals can take and still survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
