masmiffy 82 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 My neighbour has just got himself a Howa 1500 Hogue (black) in .223. Its fitted with a bipod Zeiss scope and wildcat mod. Shooting Hornady 55g V-Max (must look into reloading!!) Since we zeroed it we have done 3 nights on the lamp and done real well. First night we had 9 and 2 missed. Second night 8 Last night we had another 10, one miss. All these from the same 3 permissions! Been some late nights but worth it. Quote Link to post

markha 99 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 thats a lot of foxes, I heard one of the shoots round here had taken around foxes or so this season. Quote Link to post
dave1372 83 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I have noticed there seem to be quite a few going about this year compared to last year. Some seem small for this time of year...possibly two litters for some vixens this year maybe? Edited August 19, 2011 by dave1372 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,453 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 More foxes!! I cant believe my mate went out again on Wed and got another 9!!!! Must have been a good breeding year! That is a lot of foxes, numbers like that only occur when the land has not been properly managed, keep it up and it will be much quieter next year! Quote Link to post
