Just off to shoot the foxes on Mount Everest darling…

[Foxyboy43]

Rifle with scope mounted lamp, handful of rounds, thermal, sticks.
If I'm planning on shooting off the vehicle roof then I'll also take either a bipod or beanbag.

In the same spirit as Len’s dog question. - you do have a vehicle?

Of course not, he only needs the roof.

Of course not, he only needs the roof.

I feared thought that might be the answer. Bit silly really, if it gets too hot be can’t wind the window down….

My mate would turn up with something different every time we go foxing, compass, Kelly kettle, gillie suit, wind tester thingy, knife of the week etc etc.
One night he said I have a surprise. He then produced two camp chairs and two fully camouflaged Zimmer frames for us to sit behind!!
If we were having a late one on a weekend, he would order a kebab to get delivered to the field we were in
Bless him

Yes, as it happens I do!
But 9 times out of 10 if I want to shoot a fox I just walk into the field in front of my house, set up on sticks, and wait. So perhaps I should add "house" to my list of fox shooting paraphernalia?

One of my best and most productive fox spots is a poultry farm literally two minutes or less from home, a place I've shot over for at least fifty years.
I park up in the Hilux in my favourite spot which has a good view over most of the farm. Radio quietly playing, and wait. Almost without fail a fox will appear and hopefully, I will deal with it.
That's old man foxing for you, certainly easier than when I started over seventy years ago when we would walk all night. Still love it though!

PS I even have a warm travel rug in the back to keep the old legs warm.

Me too only a van thing. Back door open. Rifle on rear shelf, feet up, shoes off. Blanket, flask and promptly fall asleep zzzz

The last two foxes I dealt with, all I had was a loaded rifle.

Absolutely as nature delivered me, you do have to take the opportunities when they arrive!

In the interest of public decency, this bit of "show and tell" comes without the show.

In these times where everyone seems to be offended by something, I can confirm that neither fox seemed distressed or offended by my lack of attire.

Not so much foxing, but for deer I tend to stick to rifle, ammo, binoculars and on my new a pack so I can recover a beast. In the back are a couple of knives, some large plastic bags and some crunch bars to keep me going.

But a few years when I was my early 20’s was staying at a friends farm in Suffolk. His mother, who had been brought up in Southern Africa did have a number of guinae fowl. They made a hell of a racket. At about 4am there was the sound of 22lr shots. The mother - must have been in her early 40s and in very good shape was walking back across the field with three guinae fowl, a lever action 22 and a pair of tackies on her feet.
