bob tail Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 frosty morningGot a phone call the other day from a farmer who was having a problem with a fox taking ducks and chickens so i thought i had better go and have alook . I got up this morning and took off down to the farm, wasn't there long before the vixen was trotting towards me looking for breakfast so i fed her from a 22 with a subsonic and may i say she enjoy the meal it went down a treat.

bob tail Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Nice going Mate , nice and frosty down there Hi Andy, It certainly was frosty down here yesterday morning it was minus 4 degrees and it was perfect for the vixen as at that time in the morning cold and hungry she came in to the call quite nicely. Mind you i did think i had missed her because i had been calling for about ten mins or so and i started to wallk away when she showed herself at 60yrds then sat down and watched me get into position behind some round bales with not a care in the world. So i fed her some copper for breakfast and like a good bowl of porridge you could see the steam rising on the cold frosty morning . cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 A great result Chris, this cold weather certainly concentrates their minds on food, I doubt that one was expecting copper for breakfast though. Take care mate Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob tail Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Congrats Chris nice way to christen your new rifle,fine looking vixen as well Thanks foxshot, This one was being a pain for the farmer and a neighbour for a few weeks now and she has been having the odd pheasant or two aswell from the syndicates birds so she had to be stopped. I seen her the weekend before last running towards me with a hen pheasant in her mouth and just as i got into position she caught wind of me and took off so the mission was on . And as you can see i won the battle of wills with this one and she lost with a lead injection which i was happy about and so was the farmer, but i think we got another one to deal with now that has moved into the farm. But all in all it was a good morning on saturday it only took me about fifteen minutes to park the car walk down the track and call and shoot her before i had to go back home to sort out my puppies which is my main part of the day at the moment.
