FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Me and Ratch were out yesterday afternoon . This fox was out mooching at 3.30pm in the middle of a grass field. I turned the car round and got rifle ready , the fox was walking away from me so i jumped over the gate and lay in postion only for the fox to disappear into some bracken . A little squeak and out she popped and the .22/250 knocked her over clean . Good start to the afternoon as we hadnt even got to our chosen destination. We then pulled up to the next spot and Ratch grabbed his .243 I then spotted a young buck out feeding . Ratch took him at around 180 metres A perfect heart shot ( which I personally dont like as the beast always runs ) this buck ran a bit before collapsing.On gralloching him his heart was in 3 pieces I prefer a high lung shot which knocks them down on the spot. We continued and I glassed a nice 6 pointer right on dusk which I managed to grass also All in all a good afternoon Ready for home .........................
