Dawn foxing

[foxhunter]

I arrived on my ground this morning at 6 am and was greeted with a blanket of fog

 

I stalked very carefully as I could only see about 100 yards in front of me but the morning sun was rising and burning the mist off quick

 

I stalked along the edge of a small copse and viewed the grass field around the corner but nothing there. I then proceeded down the next hedgeline stopping about 200 yds further on. I stopped and looked back and there was a fox in the field where I had just checked out.

 

I backtracked to the field but couldnt see the fox , so I set my rifle up on the sticks and did a little call . The fox immediately appeared in the far hedge but wasnt really interested. I watched him through my bins and he was casually coming down the hedgerow in my general direction. I let him come to about 120 yards where the shot was safe.

 

I missed him with my 1st shot but he stood and offered me a 2nd attempt . No mistake this time

Sounds like a perfect start to the day

Well done, lucky to get a second go, thank the moddy for that, he had obviously not seen or scented you.
