Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Farmer called me Sunday afternoon to ask if i would look around the fields for a fox that has had his bantoms.The relief milker was supposed to shut them in the night before but forgot and next morning they were scattered to the four winds ,mostly dead but 6 returned but very jumpy.Took the .222 and scope mounted lamp .Saw a fox run across the road as i approached the farm so had high hopes .Didnt get far as i saw one in the first field and right by the hen coop !,although not the one i'd seen on the road .It ran from the light but stopped at the sound of a low squeak from me .The shot was against a straw rick so safe enough and a vixen was picked up .What a pretty little face ,a real shame to kill her but they just cant take the odd bird and need to kill the lot .Looked around the fields but saw nothing else .
