weejohn Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well not much to say about this, i had just hopped over a fence and this chap walked out of some forestry and headed into a newly planted area. As i found out he had stopped for a turd 140 metres away so i quickly got down on the bipod and sent a 105 AMAX into its neck. Turns out he is the scrawniest tick ridden fox i have ever seen , i couldnt even bring myself to pick it up. This is the first fox i have shot since i was out with foxshot. I have shot crows from 180m to 270m but missed a 525m crow by 6 inches about 2 hrs previous to shooting this fox. How do you chaps verify your drop charts because once i get above 240m i need to deduct around 3 clicks from what my chart says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think that one would have been glad of your 105grn AMAX, looks like the onset of mange as well as ticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weejohn Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I had thought it looked like mange when i first spotted it. The farmers son reckons it was on its way out with some type of tick borne disease. Nice 1 colin, soon time to get sniping. Thanks john, it was a long wait but well worth it.
