6mmBR Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 We had planned another visit to see Andy whilst Ray was down but the weather was not looking good. Andy had had a call from a pheasant syndicate who were having their birds delivered in a week and had spotted some foxes around there pens. The phone rang lunch time to say we'd give it a go so we loaded up the car for the 60 mile drive to Andy's. The weather was holding so we thought a bit of afternoon varminting was in order. We were over looking a field of cut silage and a barely field which had laid patches in it. We set up and I took the first crow at 250 yds, Ray followed by knocking a few off a dead tree at 340 yds. The shooting was steady and we dodged showers, jumping in and out the car. We continued shooting until 6.30 when the rain got a bit heavy so we retiered to the pub for some tea and to hopefully let the rain clear. Well we sat in the pub and tucked into a great plate of curry/rice and chips and a few soft drinks as we were shooting and driving. 10pm came and the break in the weather arrived so off we went to meet up at the farm where one of the lads was waiting with a pick up. There was still some light rain in the air so I was up first to shoot as Ray didn't want to get his gun wet We set off to the a field close to the first pen, Andy started to call and a fox popped out of the cover surrounding the field edge. The 6 BR making short work of it. Drifting off subject a bit, I do like the illuminated NP-2DD ret on my night force for this kind of work, that red dot makes target aquisition very quick and easy. Off we went to another area of the shoot, Andy started calling. Well eyes appeared every where, we got stuck into a bit of action. We cleaned up 4 foxes in very short order, less than a couple of hundred yards from the wood where the other pens were. These would of been a a real problem to the young polts Anyway the rain stopped so the Toyminator emerged from the cab to have a shot we went back over to the first pen to have another call again 2 sets of eyes appeared as soon as Andy started to call. Ray sadly missed the first bugger but made short work of the 2nd. We went on to another farm and nothing showed so at 1.30 am we called it a night. the evening finnished on 6 foxes so the lads were chuffed, I think Andy will pop up in the week and mop up the last few. The other foxes were not such a pretty sight V max and fur doesn't mix I think Ray has had a good week and him and Andy have made good friends. Well Andy mate thanks again for everything, you've helped me big time in making Rays week and I've had a ball along the way aswell. Will be in touch in the week to sort out the next trip Thanks again Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemasis243 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Ray it was great to have you down buddy, its a shame we cant post the conversations we had over dinner or whilst out foxing, The three of us really had the crack, As I said to you if you ever want to come down for a weekend get on the train and bring plenty of ammo Hopefully if I get down to Keiths I will give you a shout and go for a curry . Will send PDA and shirt down to you when it comes. Have a good one mate , do yourself a favour and see if you can tighten that 6mmppc grouping up a bit Email me your address Cheers PARD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deer stalker Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Ray, Glad to see you have enjoyed your holiday, Debbie is here with us and has a few damp nights planned for you when you get home, some how I dont think you will see any foxes though. The rifles will be locked away gathering dust, The Toyminator will become The Sperminator, hope you have been saving you strength. See you when your aloud out to play again.
