Ratchermans triple

[foxhunter]

Yesterday afternoon saw us travelling to my ground again for a spot of foxing. On the way there we spotted a fox sitting out in a cut grass field at 3pm sunning himself . I turned the car round but he had vanished I thought I would see if he was there with the lamp later.

 

We lamped one spot and the foxes just werent playing ball , we were seeing them but no shots offered .

 

I climbed over a dry stone wall in the darkness and took a couple of steps forward only to disappear 3 foot down a drainage ditch I badly bruised my cocsics and was a bit shaken but we carried on !!!

 

Next we tried another spot where the farmer had just cut some grass fields that day on the edge of the hill and I was sure foxes would be hunting here

 

1st flick of the lamp revealed a fox mousing in the fresh cut grass , Ratch shot this one off my shoulder at approx 30 yards

 

We saw a few more but the shot didnt present itself again then on the way back to the car I spied another fox. Ratch once again shot this one off my shoulder at about 50 yards

 

I then drove to the field where we had seen the fox in the afternoon and as I flicked on the lamp there he was He took off though running , but he eventually stopped and Ratch took him with a good shot at 190 yards

 

So that was Ratch with his hatrick . A happy foxer travelling home !!!

 

Another good night mate ...................

Cheers mate for a good nite like you say we managed 3 but could of been a lot more if it wasnt for them standing in the wrong places, tops of dry stone walls and silhouetted on hills etc .Hope your back is ok after falling down that ditch still it could of been worse it might of been me who fell down it and at least you didnt break my lamp
