My alarm went off at 5am as usual. I got up and pulled the curtains back a crack and there he was sitting in my open gate. I grabbed my 22 mag and made my way outside. I think he heard my scope caps hit the ground, He then froze giving me a perfect shot at about 80 yards. This time it was a bang flop . That's the exit wound in his lower neck. The 33 grain Remington Vmax destroyed his front shoulder on the exit side. I think it hit the bone and deflected out his neck.
Here's the entrance
And here's where the shot was taken from the prone position with a bipod. The fox was sitting in the open gate just above the fire pit NEXT.. Now serving #3

Re: Another Fox Down
Real nice colouring on the fox.Those 22 mags do a good job if you keep the range sensible.Good shooting.

Re: Another Fox Down
Thanks guys. He does seem to have very nice color, That's why i'm making a rug out of him . Today I got up at 0500 and guess what,Yes, another fox was at the heavenly gate. I went outside to get in position and my dog Buddy started barking . I guess he saw him through the window
