    One of our shoot members shot a real big dog fox yesterday. Didn't weigh it or anything, but it was the same size as his english pointer. It got driven from cover by the pointer and he gave it both barrels. Explains why there were no pheasants on that drive!

    Earlier at dawn, I called out another big fella with the U-caller. He came out and sat down 100yds from me with a perfect back stop and the dawn sun lighting him up beautifuly. I had time to set up the bipod, lie down and line up a shot dead centre on his chest. Squeezed off the shot and he took off like a greyhound out of the traps! Checked my zero and discovered I was a foot to the right and low - I never lost a zero so badly before:mad: Found a big heap of long red fur, but no blood or tissue, so I'll be keeping an eye out for a fox with a groove shot through his brush!

    he's fair game if he's out without a collar while out for a daytime hunt:D

    most worth their salt will tell the differance by the eye colour if lamping and shoot it anyway:P;)
