  1. I don't understand, why it is the farms favourite friend? All the farmers or smallholders I know hate them. OK to those that don't know, they look like a kind of cute dog and the British are dog lovers, but come off it....these are a wild animal that will do whatever it wants. After the recent publicised fox attacks in London and Brighton of young children, how can the fox still be a favourite? My chance to take foxes is limited, in part due to the animal loving members of the golf clubs I shoot on meaning I have been told not to shoot any foxes. I have a couple of permissions where I
  2. I agree with Boydy you will have no problem with 1 on a 22lr my mate has 1 on a 22/250 and hasnt had any bother
  3. Dave I think everyone else is scared to post the now in case they get slated for killing the farms favourite friend.Ive shot 17 now including the 1 at yours last night but after only getting 14 last year im more than happy.
  4. Just to add to what Dave has said .We met up with another shooter who has permission on the chicken farm (the owner had phoned Dave to let him know he would be there to zero his rifle).Chris seemed a really sound guy who had been shooting there for years but didnt get through as much because of moving house but turned up to zero his 25-06 which he let me and Dave have a wee shot of.Dave also started to zero in his new burris eliminator scope but fading light and barrel heating up put an end to it when he wasnt to far off target so ill hopfully get a wee shot of this 6.5x55 the next time i get
  5. Im afraid hily it will depend on how busy the police force of under a bush'ville are
  6. Just fill out the 2 forms ,get 2 refs (get 1 to sign your sgc as well) get 8 pics get them signed as necesarry throw a £60 cheque in the envelope and wait for the phone call .It really isnt that bad an experience as long as everything is good your end i.e. convictions and land and you not sounding a nutter at your interview . P.s. the rimmy and the shotty can both be for rabbit

  9. It wouldnt be to bad if we could get it far enough away from her front door that she wouldnt see us
  10. Maybe I didnt word it right poacher .I wondered if the householders thought they had a pet fox as it didnt look as if it could chase a rabbit or mouse.Ive seen at first hand another fox being fed on the road uo to 1 of our permissions she stands there about 9 most nights rattling a bowl waiting for it to come for its food.
  11. Cheers guys they were both well fed especially the second 1 ,the field it was in is near a good few houses .I was wondering if it may have been getting a few free meals.

  18. Well Dave had thought of that but thought why the hell should I please everyone with artistic photos when your pushed for time(and no very good wi a camera) The farmers are just glad they are not there to take any more chichens or lambs.
  19. After doing the rounds of a few farms and not being able to get a shot at charlie we were starting to think it was going to be 1 of they nights.On arriving at another farm I had a quick scan with the lamp and immediatly picked up a set of eyes that said fox but the height of the ground wasnt right (it was 6 feet tall)a quick look with the binos confirmed it was a fox sitting on the boundary wall off an old ruin.We drove round the field and gave a small squeak and there was her mouching about .I took aim at centre chest as her head was moving constantly but just as I was pulling the trigger she
  20. Well done on getting your fac mate ,as dixy says shorter is better for shooting out of 4x4s etc with no loss of accuracy.As for ammo again its down to your preference but the 20gr cci's shoot well out of both my friends americans and my style.Atb with your new toy when you get it
