sir-slots-alot Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Gents. A few days ago , I recived a call from a farmer who had just seen a fox walk off with one of his chickens in its mouth...He was not a happy Finally it stopped raining - so I headed for the farm with my 17 rem in tow. Parking myself against a hedgerow and looking out over the hills. The first shot presented itself - A magpie at 410 yrds - I dialled the shot in giving allowance for a 5 mph crosswind and took the shot. The 25 grn Vmax was there in an instant - The bullet took a tail feather off the lucky little bird - which flew off like a bat out of hell. The area I picked was sheltered by the hedge and I had under estimated the wind... nice try but no cigar Anyway I was there to get the fox. ( and maybe a bunny or two ) I regularly call foxes in the day time and have had great success over the years. However getting it on film is tricky - especially when your alone and your the camera man and trigger man. A cracking day - several crows - a couple of rabbits - and the money shot of course (the fox) I managed to get on film too Here the vid ( watch on full screen ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bA2qASWWIY All the best for the new year Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Reaper Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Nice work as always Alan, the fox seems to be hit before the you hear shot and hardly a twitch after. That .17 of yours is a cracking foxing tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
