thought that photo was my mates session yesterday till I saw the bullet hole. 

nice work Ian 

my mate who foxs exclusively with a shotgun sent me this yesterday morning at 4.30 this is why I dont go out with him in the summer months... I like my bed!

location is a pig farm with a small shoot attached to the land.. the vixen and cub were down with one shot at about 25 yard, they were walking towards each other and pulled the trigger when they were nose to nose

the 3 cubs below were yesterday.. they must of been following but got broken up from the previous session above, me mate looked all over for more and turned a blank but went back yesterday on the off chance and they were living in an empty pheasant pen.. two barrels took the first two and the third came back fifteen mins later..

He is devoted to the job. And given a boost to the diversity of life there.

What kind of shotgun does he use?

Loving the avatar Si, good to know it’s not just me that has a pal who phones at stupid o’clock. He phoned me at 4 o’clock in the morning to ask me if I’d been foxing and then at half past five to tell me he’d caught a magpie.....

Lucky you, I’m on street party duty and 8 cans of kronenbourg in

Luckily it’s started to rain and we have rapped in, I’ve only volunteered myself for one small job ( free of charge ) and haven’t threatened anyone, the missus is very proud of me

They are spiders. A fox is orange and has a fluffy tail.

Not spiders....they are ermine moth caterpillars

Pi$$ing down so went home with nothing seen then gets a message on WhatsApp from my mate and he just shot a vixen.

We need billions of cinnabar moth catapillars to eat all the ragwort!

Back after the cockerel killer last night and no rain 1st job to check zero as I dropped the rifle the previous evening from my shoulder ....

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

Continuing on I spotted the foxy red coat of a deer in the next field with head down ....up came its head revealing a buck so the stalk was on I stalked down the hedge , crossed through the hedge and was around 100 yards away. On the bipod I had to wait until he moved a few yards forward to reveal his shoulder and down he went .

Into the next field which was topped grass I placed out the caller 70 yds away and lay in the field. 3 minutes into cub call and a dog fox came flying in and sat down 50 yds short of the caller staring at it.

Now I was looking at 12 o clock and the fox was sat at 9 o clock so I had to shuffle around to get the shot , luckily he never spotted me

So within 20 minutes of being on the ground I had my double.....
