foxhunter Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 April 1st , the start of the roebuck season ! I arrived at 6am and proceeded to head for a small plantation hoping to find a buck. As I approached I spied a buck at the bottom of the plantation , he jumped the fence and started to make his way up the banking. I got myself ready on my sticks and waited as he had disappeared from view, after about 10 mins and no sign I decided to try and locate him. I carefully climbed the fence and started stalking across the bank when all of a sudden I spied the buck feeding with his head down. I placed my 22/250 on my sticks and put the crosshairs just behind his shoulder , he dropped on the spot On the report of the rifle a fox came hurtling staright at me out of cover , my rifle was still positioned on my sticks so I followed the fox through my scope and wondered wether to try and shoot the fox on the run but at that moment it stopped and I quickly bagged it as well . Now I know it was April 1st and April Fool and all that , but the buck had only 1 eye and so did the fox What are the chances of that ????????????????????????? 1 eyed buck............ 1 eyed fox............. Now who can think of an explanation as I have no eye deer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Adds a whole new meaning to "a left and a right" especially if you used a rifle Well done, nice head on the buck I wonder what happened to the eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 A good start to the season Mark. I think you should put a £ on the lottery as the chances of shooting those 2 must be similar odds to winning it Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpile1 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Wow. I've never shot a one eyed fox but I've had a couple three legged ones. Imagine lamping a fox and seeing just one eye shining back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman223 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Good start to the season, the bucks that i have been seeing are also clean of velvet, (exept last years young), they seem to be clean early this year. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
