PaulB Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Couple of pairs of latex gloves in yer pocket is a quick and easy method and takes up no space, I buy mine for about £1.60 a box 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandersj89 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yep, the "moment" does mean you tend to forget little things like that as it did last night. There were two of us last night, both carrying rifles and lamps but I am more of a back up when with brian as he has the .223 and I have my HMR. Therefore I do most of the calling and torch work while he concentrates on the shooting unless charlie is close in and I will take it. Tried a new method of paunching last night that I saw here: http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/smd...nt=DSCF2548.flv It worked a treat and did mean there was not so much fluids to get your hands so dirty.

foxshot Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Did you get the fox after the tasty hand call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyboy Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 done that a few times myself, learned my lesson and carry gloves now, col totally no what you mean about getting caught up in the moment when you see those eyes you go into auto pilot. Darrel I used to take all my foxes home and keep them for magpie bait, I used to leave them laying in the field and hide with the .22 lr great craic but I cant bebotherd carrying them home anymore and in the summer they bloody stink in a day. Now I just shoot them with the tac20 at longer distances, much easier on the arms and nobody is asking me what the stink is coming from that old feed bag in the outhouse.

sandersj89 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Did you get the fox after the tasty hand call Nope, not that one, he was having none of it and went away from us, walked around the cover to try and head him off in another field and got the eyes in the scope again and this time he stayed put with the call. Trouble is my shooting partner missed the shot.....very unlike him! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Pick them up with your left hand and call with your right. Not a good taste is it Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
