Frosty no show

A fox has been helping himself to our Pheasant shoot during the day and is sighted by all n sundry when unarmed so me goes random times day n night to get him a lift to St Peters gate .Tonight arrived  about 4.30pm ,its dark as can be thermal ,Photon ,best fox call ,mouse squeak e l and .308 loaded with Reynard sleeping pill ,1 part lead 1part copper.Moseys on down to the first gate and takes a pew.

Well much scanning for half an hour and random calls ,no show.Next style <his haunt in the day>,parks my buttski and thermal scans whilst calling and "SBA " appears but whats this "arrgh" bloomin Munty, no shoot night time and nightvision .Next move to a track where the animals all use it as a zebra crossing and sit n wait s all over is leafes and brash so to walk is to sound like a big of crisps is tied to each boot.

So i know there,s a den over in death valley <worst drive on the shoot>and slowly walk over and test the water well theres a few badgers about but he aint home .Make a slow crawl over to the plantation and there he is in the thermal ,no he bloomin isnt he stands up to show his munty suit .

So after 4 hours ive got frosbite ,frustration and flat batteries but after a carp day at work i didnt care i,d been out under the stars and all was well

They are moody just before breeding, they have one thing on their minds now!

Yes six pigeon carcases,1duck and 1 3 week old rotting Pheasant are sat near a salt lick being watched by a camera but he hasnt been back for 4 nights now.Either the neighbours got him or he,s off trying to be a "very naughty boy " .Hopefully its the first one but since i shot his predecessor in May he,s been made lamp shy by an.other much to the annoyonce of all .

Still we,l get him then wait for his replacement to pop along for his "interview " with a B.s.a atb
