TypicalSo the fox I waited up for but it never appeared made an appearance at 8pm yesterday evening. So earlier start to wait tomorrow. The small holders had to go out and shoo it away. It was sat in the very spot I choose to wait for it 2 nights earlier.

I would venture a guess that we have all been in the same boatTypical
I waited for one Monday night over 3hrs
Packed everything away. One last look while getting in motor. There it is
Hopefully won't be so lucky next time

I did manage a couple of hours in the mentioned quarry after finding a safe route in, no sign of an earth within.The last Vixen I shot intentionally, @ #8,767 was responsible for big losses of layers in a small holding, & Vixen's earth is in a disused silica sand quarry, the quarry is secured and monitored, so no options on sitting out on the earth.
No mate ... I spent 38 hours in the pub down the road then went out for 2 hours and shot the fox.Did you not go to the site![]()

Be honest Mike - i was chuffed to bits i didnt see many4 less though mate ...all count![]()
Its always a conflict with shooting for fun (less so in your case) as the better the job you do the less you shoot at a later day. I hammer the corvids on some of my permissions as that is what the farmer wants...then have to find another permission to try and get some decent shooting the next yearBe honest Mike - i was chuffed to bits i didnt see many

I do however love seeing a field of black and thinking I'm on for a good days sport. Cant beat it when the barrels are to hot to touch and they are still belting in ... I'd take a decent day on the corvids over pretty well anything else shooting wiseI love looking at fields that historically were covered in corvids and now none are there !

Nicely doneWent out early last night for a mooch about, 1st part of the hill saw 8 does and a buck further up , as the hill is kinda steep I couldnt be arsed stalking up it, so moved round to next farm, went to stalk into a wee plantation and a fox comes trotting down from the hill quick set up on the sticks and bib shot at 150mt , on inspecting him he was heavily infested with ticks.
moved up to plantation and ended up with a nice freezer filler
