A few from this weekend!

Had a call from a farmer losing chickens earlier this week, so managed to get over Friday night! Managed two dogs and a vixen from 90 to 200yds! All shot in the same field! Did see one more but was skylined, so couldn't take the shot! Then last night went out to a big valley near me! Didn't see anyt...

Foxes don't appreciate the 204! Think they may like this even less!😉

Re: 6mm Creedmoor

As soon as I get a load made up I'll let you know how it shoots! I'm planning to start with 87gr V-max and then probably try the 103gr ELDX.

Wow, I'm pleased we don't get anything like that! This country wouldn't be able to cope!

Re: 4 foxes!

This is a busy time for me Bill as the farmers have started lambing, so we need to keep on top of them! I've had 19 since the start of the year!

4 foxes!

Didn't think it would be very good tonight as it was a bit light. Walked up to the top of the farm and didn't see anything so tried the vixen call! Nothing really happened so I started walking back and suddenly saw a fox flying across the field! Anyway he must have thought something wasn't right as ...

Longest fox!

Had a phone call from a farmer I shoot for the other day saying he'd seen a three legged fox and he wanted it got rid of before lambing! Decided to have a look tonight. Even though it was cloudy, it was very bright! Walked up the drive and saw something too large to be a rabbit in the thermal! Turne...
