Marctitty 92 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Had the same problem farmer called said he’s seen a fox around his lambing sheds and when he returned next day he had 8 lambs gone. All were twin lambs called firearms officer explained what had gone in had his permission to go out to this farm. was there about 30 mins and a nice sized dog walking along forest edge quick call and that was number 1 down so gave it hr and put caller on and another 2 by 1am farmer happy with that. Had a nice call today thanking me and said his farther would like me to go and have a look around his 2000 acre farm when this covid is over 6 Quote Link to post

Marctitty 92 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 It’s the reckon big saddle from Scott country I would deffo recommend it if your prolifically doing fox like as you can leave gun in rest and do your spotting without holding gun in sticks like. Quote Link to post

Well done on managing to kill the three! However i must point out farther is a distance from something. Whereas father is a parent, i suspect you meant the latter. We will let it slide this time and put it down to excitement. 3 Quote Link to post

Folk don’t get how heartbreaking it is to do all that work, and for the ewe to get all the way to being out with two nice healthy lambs and for a fecking fox to take it. Quote Link to post
