FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) After speaking to a farmer the other day he told me that he had lost another duck so I decided to have a look with the lamp last night to see if I could catch the culprit. There are only 3 fields cut on this farm but I thought it was still worth a look. Ratcherman arrived at mine at 10pm and we made our way to the farm which isnt far. As we lamped the fields I did spot a couple of foxes in the gorse but they werent playing at all and scarpered quick. I was a bit disappointed but then I spied a fox near the duck house it made off in to some rushes so the only shot available was off my sticks , I shot it through the neck with an 87grner I then lamped another fox at the top of the next bank but it was an unsafe shot , skylined and standing in front of a horse We crossed over this field and I lamped another fox in some rushes , Ratcherman got on the bipod this time but the fox slinked into the cover . On shining the lamp round to the right I spotted another fox which Ratcherman shot this time. I then lamped back to the spot where the other fox was and it had re-appeared I grabbed the rifle off Ratcherman and shot this one also So that was 3 foxes in about 10 mins Got a text off the farmer this morning " GOOD SHOOTING " Edited July 23, 2009 by FOXHUNTER Quote Link to post

FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Ratcherman had another cub last night which we had spotted mooching on a cut silage field. He got set up on the sticks and I called it with my hand, it screamed in to about 30 yds after I stopped it with a HOY Never managed any more with the lamp but bagged 33 rabbits Quote Link to post
