foxing2night Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Having been suffering with a bad back,, Whent out for an hour on sunday night??? Just thinking that i would have a quite drive around, Just to have an hour out,,, Whent to a small holding whitch is nice and flat and easy to lamp!!! I could hear lambs bleeting in the sheds,,, So i thought, This is going to be a good chance for a charlie here???? Lamp on, 150yrds eyes, Call he came running in but he was running on three legs????? , 50yrds, 17hmr head shot, First one down!!!!, Walked 20 yards to anouther gate way, Lamp on, sheep in the field by the sheds , These would be the next lot ready to come in to lamb,,, One fox sitting at the side of them??? called but the bugger would not move, So one shot in the boiler room at 100yrds,,, Down like a bag of spuds!!!!! Next gate way, and jam doughnut me one sitting at about 80yrds,,,, Did not bother calling just put the crose hairs on his chest and thump!!!! We were back in the farm house having tea in under half an hour???? Tuesday night, back to the same place??, and managed to get one more!!!!!! It has been a bit slow for this month but now thinks are looking up!!!!! 20 grain cci, 17 hmr,,,, What a lovely little round???? All the best,, F2n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
