Another lamb killer...

[martin 332]

I have just started to control the foxes on a local farm,and,he is in the middle of lambing so there are a few about,but,there is a fox that every time the lamp gets anywhere near it the bloody thing just turns and flees.Last night I used a red filter,and,I was out with the .204 because although I have had it a while now I have only just got the right mounts for it so it would accomodate the Nightforce scope.A mate of mine was lamping for me,and,I had some bait out as well,we checked the bait,but,nothing there,so,I started to call using the Wam.There was a pair of eyes appeared between some trees,and,it did start to come in at first,but,then thought better of it,and,just disappeared.We walked over to the other side of the valley to have a call,and,after probably 40 mins of calling and waiting a pair of jewels popped back at me from the very top hedgeline,The .204 was already on the sticks,as I gave a few very quiet squeeks she came down the bank like the proverbial train,she ran along a footpath,and,she was just going to keep coming so,i had to bark to stop her.She slammed the brakes on,and,gave be a front on shot,so,I put the illuminated crosshairs on her chin,and,off sped a 32grn Remington(not started to reload yet),well these rounds are pretty devastating I can tell you,there was the satisfying thud back from the by now recumbant Vixen,and,I was glad to get another in the bag from this place as it seems they are normally very lampshy which is a bit weird as no-one else lamps here at all.But,the farmer will be happy,and,I will be out after them again with a now blooded new rifle...........I will win in the end!!! lol

but what about her cubs for us lurcher boys and girls to run next season

no doubt they will be delt with too, suprisingly the world does not revolve around dog men

from what i can gather, martin seems to be a conscientious person,just because he hasn't stated that the cubs were dealt with ,people presume the worst

Unfortunately for you, I'm not sure the farmer will be too bothered, I'd have thought he cared more about his lamb losses and livelihood!!!

 

Well done Martin and a good read too

Sorry

 

I think its a case of priorities.

 

I think the Martin's priority here (and the farmers) was to neutralise a problem and retain his permission, not worry about next seasons dog sport (which, excusing my cynicism, would be done not by him but by people who did not have permission). Martins a good sort and i'm sure the cubs will be taken care of if possible.

nice work martin

[Guest busterdog]

From the look of the picture it doesn't look like she has any cubs, not every vixen has cubs!!! ,i dug a barren vixen last week.

Well done martin,

If you do run foxes with your lurchers,which by the way is not legal then you have your own foxes down there don't you?

By the way,the cubs were sorted very shortly after..............Martin.

 

p.s. two more were shot on the field opposite on Sunday
