rifleshooter 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Decided to have a look on my local ground last night couldnt be botherd traveling,i know there are a few foxs in this area its just catching them at the right time,i usualy get about a dozen a season, spoted the first a fairway off heading towards some woodland,i have seen this fox a couple of times now and usualy leave when it gets into cover but this time i waited and out he came about 200 yds away it wasnt intrested in the call at all but was slowly heading in my direction now i have learned from experience not to rush a shot especialy if the fox is totaly relaxed ,eventualy it came to within 100 yds , so it was get down stop it then down it went droped on the spot with a 55 gr v-max after retreiving the fox i started to make off to another part when i spoted another fox in the same area again no responce to the call but wasnt botherd by the lamp so again it was a case of waiting for a safe clear shot after a short time fox presented its self and down it went about ,decided to call it a night after that back home after a couple of hours lamping done me fine this is my set up (lamp wise )for lone shooting Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 The only change I make is to charge up 2 ,7 ah batteries and use them one at a time .Much lighter . Quote Link to post
