abolter Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 went out last night and finally fulfilled a daft ambition. Shot a fox off a bale!! really pleasing was the fact I popped him in the noggin at about 170m too!! the other 3 foxes we got did little to worsen the mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz6br Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Nice mate, I reckon I've shot 3 maybe 4 sat on a bail in 15 years of shooting them lol. Plenty of time to get another with the harvest about now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Nice one Roy. Are there plenty of fields down up that way? I need to get up there work permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolter Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 about 50% down all of a sudden Dave. Barley, rape and wheat all moving at once now!! Yup it was the 5/35 its all I take the foxes with really (unless stalking). It will have done 50 this year so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offroad Gary Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was out sunday morning looking for foxes and fallow, happened across 3 large cubs playing on some bales at very first light, got within 50m and waited for all 3 to be aligned (on top on bale) before letting go with a 120gn prohunter from my 6.5 x 47L... Would have been the shot of a lifetime (3 with 1) but the bullet didnt exit the first fox. Proves how unreliable bullet construction can be at times, normally those bullets exit all but the largest of animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolter Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I gave up on 2fers after only 2 attempts. Once on cubs and once on rabbits. I have heard stories of people shooting 3 deer "accidentally" with the same shot and knew a guy who would often try for pairs. My experience is that its a bad idea, but I'm with you on the shot of a lifetime idea tho (and unreliable bullet behaviour)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
