Another fox sent to the big chicken farm in the sky!

[dave1372 83]

After not having much luck with the foxes recently I headed down to the chicken farm last night to try and get a fox that I had spotted a few times with the lamp, but because of the way you drive in the approach it always managed to use a natural dip in the field to disappear and I could never get chance to get a shot at it or see what direction it headed. I decided I would need to set up some bait and set up an ambush nearby instead. I arrived before last light and put out some cat meat as bait near the chicken shed and setup my idleback chair Click here (which I bought at a game fair on a whim but rarely use!) up on top of a 15ft high bank a 130 yards away which gave a nice view of the area. I often get bored and uncomfortable just waiting about but found that the gun rest very comfortable this time and combined with some tunes on the mp3 player time passed fairly quickly whilst waiting and scanning the field with the NV. After 45mins out of nowhere a fox appeared at the bait and I started to pray that It wasn't one of those times when you wonder how the hell did you miss such an easy shot! Lined up the cross hairs right on its right shoulder and sent a 52grain A-Max homeload right into it and it dropped stone dead . I waited another 30 mins before I moved just in case it had a mate nearby but nothing appeared so I went to pick it up and it was a dog fox probably last years (still had nice clean teeth).
