foxshot Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 had a look out this morning over the border for a ratch ,the first fox was shot just after first light he spoted us and away he went but made the mistake of having one last look before heading of to the forestry big mistake took him out at 152 yds ,the next fox was spoted with the bins in some long white grass couldnt take the shot from where i was so stalked to a good shooting point ,he was in cover and totaly unaware of my presence hunting for mice most of the time he could not be seen because the grass was that long ,every now and then lifting its head eventualy after about ten mins he presented himself with a clean neck/head shot astalavista fox down he went on the spot ranged at 84 yds , also took a couple of crows out at a tad past 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last fall some family and freinds went up to Canada doin some 'Bou huntin...they came back limited out...everybody in their party shot their limit...They had to rent a U Haul trailer to bring back the heads and hides...They got stopped at the border and had to hand over the heads for CWD testing...They were p+ssed to say the least. 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
