FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Me and David were out again last night under the full moon , christ it was so light I could read my car reg number at distance. Anyway I lamped a fox straight away which was tucked into a hedge but it wouldnt present itself for a shot so we carried on and I spotted another charlie way out across a freshly ploughed field. David had to take the shot from the edge of the field as there was no way we were getting any closer , there was a bit of a cross wind blowing so David aimed just in front of the fox and managed to knock it over hitting it around the diaphragm area ...........shot approx 200 yards We then tried our luck on another farm , I lamped a fox sitting on top of a railway embankment , we walked right up to this fox it couldnt have cared less but unfortunately the shot was not safe so had to leave it , I tried every call I could make but it wouldnt shift from its position LUCKY FOX !!!!!
