sir-slots-alot Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi Lads A bit of old sckool foxing with the lamp These vids were taken in over the last couple of nights. Myself and my shooting mate had a night lamping fox. Taking my 17 rem for company and a healthy supply of 25 grn Vmax for fodder, we set off to a hill farm where the farmer had complained of a fox problem We dont do that much lamping for fox these days , as NV is more descret & usually more productive at this time of year Anyway We had a top night - three fox fell to the 17 rem - the furthest was about 240 yrds - others where closer to home. The 17 rem and the deadly 25 grn Vmax just switches charlie off - No different to my 22.250 or 223 in terms of terminal effect. Altogether we saw nine fox during the evening - most wouldn't entertain the lamp - even sprinting off when it was pointed in their direction The next vid shows the re-visit using the NV and my trusy old 223 Tikka 595 and 53 grn Vmax. Another 2 less for the farmer to worry about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpVA1lPHy9E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7GVzY2dW08 ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggy Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Nicely done ,I prefer to use a lamp rather than NV .But then saying that I have yet to use top end gear . Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir-slots-alot Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi Mick. I also prefer lamping. We still do very well lamping rabbits .. not so well on fox - lots of lamp shy ones around these parts this time of year. Lampings much more of a shared experience thing with your lamping buddy.... We have had some epic nighs - out all night until dawn I have got to admit , I enjoyed the lamping night much more than my NV session ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir-slots-alot Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Well done Alan, were you shooting off HMS Bounty for the NV shot though? All I could hear is creeeak, creeeak Yeah . Any small sounds that are close to the camera mic , seemed to be magnified massively. In actual fact , its all pretty silent - including my own breath , which I hope doesn't sound as loud and rasping ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
