Stavross 13,713 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 So I’m at work with my mate and his brother has just rang to ask if I wanted a bit of fox shooting, well obviously I said yes, it turns out it’s 200 acres of farm land 10 minutes from my house and I can shoot anything I want on there, only one rule is I can only go on my own, suits me, I told him I don’t know the difference between sh*t and guts and he said he won’t hold it against me as long as what ever is on the floor is dead, today has been a good day so far 3 5 Quote Link to post

FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 That's a great start to your day Quote Link to post
FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 One of my farms has just cut the barley so decided to have a look out on the stubbles. 1st stand I set up in a cut grass field which is on the edge of a wood and gorse banking and usually holds a litter each year. After calling for 25 minutes the 1st fox appeared which I shot at 100yds No more than 10 minutes later its sibling appeared which I shot but was a runner , I went to look for it and as I was scanning I spotted a 3rd so quickly ran back to my rifle and shot that one . I then searched for the second and found it some 70 yds away , shot a little far back but it was dead. So with 3 in the bag after about an hour I thought I would mix up the calling with some more unusual calls to try and get an adult, it worked as a 4th appeared but sat out at 150 yds and wouldnt come in. I was steady on it but unfortunately a miss So should have been 4 but happy with 3 . 8 Quote Link to post
