It wasn't an ideal night with a fair bit of moon. Anyway I got there and saw there were only a couple of fields possibly to safely shoot! I sae up the foxpro and then walked down the field to spread a bit of dog food about to hopefully hold the fox!
I started the caller with a ray squeal, and then a rabbit, and soon saw something a couple of fields away heading in! Unfortunately when it got to the field to shoot, it turned out to be a badger!
A bit later I spotted another badger, and then finally when I switched to a vixen mating call a fox came in, but I think it saw me and headed straight back out the field! I then tried fox cub distress, and as I turned round a fox was 30yds behind me! It quickly turned round and went over the hedge but I kept the caller going and the fox came back and sat on top of the hedge! Unfortunately it wasn't a safe shot!!! After a while it headed off, but I caught a glimpse of it going between the buildings with the thermal and seemed to be doing a large circle round the farm! It must have been really keen to know what the cub call was because it eventually came through the hedge in front of me where I managed to shoot it at 90yds! That's the 73rd fox this year. My best year ever! And definitely one happy farmer!
Needles to say, it disappeared pretty quickly! Anyway we had a walk round the farmyard and straight way I spotted a fox at the top of the bank at the back of the farm! I got set up on the sticks and the lamp was put on! The fox was behind some branches, but a quick squeek and it moved down just enough for the shot! Really nice looking dog fox! And that was all we saw!
