foxhunter Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 When I got up this morning the ground was white with snow but by the time I arrived at the shoot it was dull and drizzling . But as I was there anyway I went for a wander , shortly afterwards the drizzle stopped :clapper: I had to stop for a crap and as I pulled my pants back up I noticed a fox had come through the hedge and was looking away from me at a distance of only 3 yds , as I tried to raise my rifle it spotted me and jumped into the hedge but it was still looking at me so as I looked through my scope I couldnt see anything but a blur as the scope was set at 8x mag , anyway I fired where I thought the fox was but had no idea if Id shot it or not luckily on inspection I found a dead dog fox lying, shot at a distance of 10yds. I continued my rounds through a wood and could smell the strong fragrance of charlie all the way through. As I came to the end of the wood I peered into the field and spotted charlie trotting away from me , I dropped to the floor , gave him a shout and bowled another dog fox over at 140 yds. 1st fox shot at 8am , 2nd fox shot at 9am :clapper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auquhollie Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well done mate. Just shows baring your arse in the country really works . I had a mate tell me a stroy of a 30" fox he shot one night when calling them. It wasnt 30" long though but 30" from the end of his barrel Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
