    Heading out shooting in an hour and gonna stay out after dark for Charlie. Been unsuccessful so far and just wondering has anyone done it and any tips before I go?
    I was once told lamping with a shotgun requires patience and skill.

    The main skill is calling the fox close enough to kill it cleanly with a shotgun. You need to have good technique. Also remaining concealed is tricky but not impossible, its easier once darkness arrives. Good cartridge and choke combination is also vital. I use full choke with 50g BB shot but my gun has a 3.5 inch chamber. A good heavy load of 3,4 or 5 will do the job within 35 or 40 yards

    shot loads of them years ago with the lamp and shotgun, but then there was nobody in the area lamping fox's, in an area where it is been lamped on a regular basis you'll find id difficult to get the fox's in close enough for a shot. Saying all that you should be able to call in cub's handy enough.
