Sausagedog 7,381 Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Went ratting tonight and shot five that's all. I walks around the back of the farm and not 40 yards away is a fox! Marvelous I think, here I am with me 410 and there is a fox 40yd away oblivious to the red lamp, great. Undeterred I tucks behind a thick gate post and squeak like a mouse. Blow me he comes straight in. At 17 paces ( later checked) I light him up a little more and he turns side on. I checks my aim and send 3/4 Oz of #7&1/2 reload. With arched back he trots off forty yards and lies down to die. It was all very quick. There was another fox across a couple of fields barking. I'll go back tomorrow. I did light it up but thought better of it just toting a 410! 6 Quote Link to post
