FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Went up to Scotland last night for a bit of foxing. I didnt realise it was a full moon and very still , consequently everywhere was quiet. On going up the farm track I spied a rat scurrying about on the track so I quickly jumped out off the motor with my .22 and put it to bed Then we continued looking for foxes , the 1st one I spied should have been in the bag but I couldnt get my cross hairs on it before it slinked into the wood. Anyway I continued on til I saw a 2nd fox but once again no luck as it wasnt a safe shot with houses in the background. I then proceeded to put the lamp over a dry stone wall and spotted this massive dog fox, luck was on my side this time as he stood broadside and I manged to drop him at about 100 yards resting on the dry stone wall. When I picked the fox up I was over the moon as what a specimen , perfect condition weighing in at 20 lbs. So a night that started poorly finished off great !!! Look at the size of this fella , hes as big as me !! Quote Link to post
