Toby Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sat out on the new bait site tuesday night. Not overly hopeful but good to get out the house even though the temperature was down to -13c. Set up and ready at 20.30. First fox 22.45 Second fox 23.35 Third fox 02,45 fourth fox 05,05 2 dogs and 2 vixens. An eventful night, equalling my previous best of 4 in one night. 17 Rem Sako, Berger 25 grs MEF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah, very little traffic until about 3 weeks ago when the snow came.Since then it looks like they'd had a party on the bait. Biggest fox I've shot here was 8.5kg so no monster. The average weight approx 6.5kg. The bottom fox is about 7.5-8kg I would estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhunter Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Great job Toby, we could do with some hard weather over here for a few weeks always helps if they are real hungry and to make the ground hard enough to get about on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyw Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Toby what bait are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Gary, roadkill elk and roedeer for bait. Triple 2, just natural light ie moonlight and or ambient light reflected from low cloud or the snow. Not allowed to use artificial light over here unless it is fixed to a post or building. No mains supply to this bait. Cheers Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Nice going Toby, The bottom fox in the top picture looks cute, curled up having a sleep. ;-) When or, if, it ever snows over here in the UK I'm always racing to get out getting any lamp shy fox's. There's just no getting away. We are so lucky over here being able to hunt 24 hrs a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Looks a bit different now, there's 2 more roe and approx 2 ft of snow on the bait now. Just waiting for the weather to settle and some new foxes to arrive. My bait site is about 50 yds from a river. Over here when the rivers freeze in winter they are like motorways for the foxes, hence my bait positioning :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
