lamping with boards

poulo6.5

after our day stalking and full of excitement we decided to keep the good luck rolling so i decided to head out on my patch and see if there were any red lads around.
not long into it we spotted our first one that declan managed to put down with minimal effort. deck will have to insert his own pic's here

then on to the next spot and it was a good long shot that i felt comfortable taking from a prone position. the shot was good but from the reaction we think i just clipped it and we could see it limping off into the ditch. we tried to find it but no joy.
on we went and i had a chance to redeem my self with a handy 165y shot and fox 2 was in the bag


we moved on but not long later we had another chance that deck took again with no hassle deck insert pic here. fox 3

my turn and on we went, it was not long and i had another chance off a fence post i tagged this lad deck let out a yelp to stop it as it was wondering around the field and i fired to get fox 4


as you can imagine we were well chuffed at this stage. and as we made our way back in the direction of my house we had two more opportunity's and 2 more in the bag as usual my phone had died again i need a new phone. so deck has the 2 more photos to insert one of mine and one of his....

6 foxes down and in total we saw 8 or 9. and we were back in my house for a well deserved brew beside the fire to talk about our fun day and night hunting

well done declan it was a great days shooting

ya they are all in great condition, i have not shot a mangy fox in over a year. i think a good control keeps the population healthy.

come to think of it i have not shot that farm since last year. it is due a visit, maybe one evening this week

I don't really give a feck if they like it or not. I don't particularly like them tearing up my fields , but they don't seem to give a feck about that either
