Out the other night

[firepower 68]

Did the rounds for about four hours, loads of bunnies out but the shooting buddy that was with me has charlie fever so the search went on and on. You know the kind, ohhhh ohhh there's one when in fact it is a road cone. After spotting a couple and calling them in to less than two hundred yards while he faffed about with his .222 making enough noise to wake a member of the house of lords I started to despair. On to the last set of fields of the night. The lamp picked up the fox at two hundred plus and the call went on. Charlie started to circle off to the right. The hedgerow is one of those awkward buggers with the occasional gap so contact was lost. As it was turned midnight and sod all had gone to meet it's maker I decided to call it a night . Driving up the private lane we shone the lamp for one last time and blow me there it was looking straight at us. My buddy had unloaded and dropped the bolt out. Fortunately my .17hmr still had the bolt in but no bi pod so it was an offhand shot............... 117 yards and smack in the breastbone and stone dead. I think it may take a day or two for him to speak to me again One less vixen in the world :thup:
