Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 This culling session was not planned, but they are some times the best, got a call late last night from a hunting pal of mine who has gone through a really bad spell. Phone rings, alright JR fancy a lash at Charlie tonight, yeah but I am in bed, well get the fook out of bed and get you ass down here. I arrived at Dave’s house round 11.30, final check was done and we were ready to mix it with Charlie. First fox fell to me, I had a clean head shot at about 170 yards, and the photo explains it all. Next fox was taken by Dave, this little whore ran rings around us, after about ten minutes of calling her in Dave got a clean chest shot and the fox lay still on the ground. Mr. Farmer was well pleased with our work. Quote Link to post

Guest Frank Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Poor fox Good men Is that a Browning rifle? Whats the caliber? Frank. Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Alright Frank Ita sabaitte (SPELLING) 223, factory treaded to take T8, found it to be spot on, once you put the cross hair on your target its hits home, zero the scope before every session just to be sure. We came across 12 charlies last night, but due to unsafe shots we had to pass them up, next time Quote Link to post
Guest Frank Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks IL Nice rifles them i hear and accurate, keep up the good work. Frank. Quote Link to post
Yokel Matt 918 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Poor thing... looks like it must have suffered horribly Nice snootin' mate. No excuses the rest of the time when you can head shoot at nearly 200 yrds hey Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks Frank, cant wait for next session. LY I cant hit a barn door at times and then I do everything wrong and bang lond distance stone dead. The bipod plays a hand in all my shoting, crap off the shoulder, but still manage to get the odd one. Is there a method you guys use to shoot off the shoulder?? Thanks again. Quote Link to post
wag 13 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) no i shoot off a bipod its the best way its rock steady no movement at all and if your shooting them at that range in the head off a bod stay that way looks to me that way suits you best Edited August 8, 2007 by wag Quote Link to post
