[SNAP SHOT 194]

Right lads its been a long day, Left after a bite to eat yesterday evening after getting the call. The farmer met me and we headed off in his jeep, well up behind his house. The evening was fine with a few light showers of rain on the way, So we headed up the back field to see where the killing had taken place. He said the foxes had been barking up in the hill the last few nights about eleven o clock, So we set up and sat with the caller on in the field for about 10-15 mins, with the occassional lamp out to see if anything had showen on the horizion.

Nothing About eight twenty we headed off to see what we could find on the local patch. And within 20 mins saw two other cars lamping the nearby fields, thinking it would be a wase of time on we struggled seeing nothing only hares and rabbits,

Then at about 10 i caught my first sight of foxy about two hundred yards away got set up to take the shot, light on, Scaning the field again he had taken of like his house was on fire firework up his backside he was GONE and not stoping. So of we head again when All of a sudden to the field on our left 3 foxes runing around playing hide the sausage we think but as soon as the light hit them again they were off two broke off to the right the other headed straight away from us.....The night was not going well

So by this time it was getting late and we headed back to the farm were the lambs were taken from quick lamp nothing.

So i put on the mating call of the caller and decided to wait for 5 mins as it is a very large area with a valley in the middle of the field, lamping away we see nothing then two sets of eyes light up on the far hill about 500 600 yards away we leave the light of and keep the caller going with a low volume,

they come in to 450 odd yards and stop on the brow of the hill nestleing in between some bracken they edge their way in all stop.

I can see one at 439 yards the other is at 427 yards. trying everything to get them closer the one at the greatest distance vanishes, hidden from sight only one left, i range again sitting facing us as bold as brass not a move, with a hill for a backstop i decide to try the shot ranging again i get 427 yards

As if it had been caught in a trap not a movement. A quick look at the drop tables 26 clicks in elevation 27 inches, some odd of a drop i tap the farmer to turn the lamp on.

trying to get a steady aim concentrating on my breath, i reach the natural pause, crosshairs fixed, BANG Such a calm night we instantly here THUMB.

The farmer thinks i missed and hit the rising ground behind. Scaning we see nothing its all over So i take a walk down the valley and as i start to climb the far bank i can see something nestled in the foreground of the bracken. SUCCESS a vixen, lying on her side i lift her to inspect the damage,

The whole back flops open in what can only be described as a hole you could put your fist in, i can't believe i hit her longest shot to date on a fox by seven yards and the farmer is over the moon, And say's if i get the other he'll pay me with a butchered lamb for my trouble.............

CHECK THIS OUT......................I'M OVER THE FOOKING MOON WITH THE SHOT.

[SNAP SHOT 194]

No problem sounder, I'm gald their doing the business. As i didn't have all the info to get seriously accurate tables done, but you should have little trouble, maybe adjustment of 1 or 2 clicks at the longer distances.

i like delving in the ballistics side of things, that's excellent shooting at that distance.

Four Hundred and Twenty Seven F*cking Yards??? How the F*ck can you see a bloody fox at That kind of range, mate?!

 

I was stood, in Broad Daylight, one time. Talking to Dean o' about some object that must have been a good 300 + yards away. Maybe 400? He said what it was. I couldn't fathom it. I came in here and got my binoculars.

 

When I looked at it with those, it was what Dean had been saying it was. Only it was also close to a f*cking Field Gate which I couldn't even SEE at that range!!! So; If I can't see a twelve foot long gate? What chance of seeing a fox???

 

Cherrish ye eyesight for every day ye have it, mate

 

 

Phenominal shot, by the way! Bang on the nail!
