Well last night I thought Sod it I am going out. Anyway it was dry for once but blowing very hard.
I decided to walk arround a local farm which we haven't shot for ages but have seen foxs crossing over the last few weeks.
Surprisingly the ground under foot was quite dry and in 2 hrs all I saw was about a dozen rabbits and 5 roe, in fact with the aid of the themal and a very stiff breeze I stalked to within 25 yds of the roe which was good and I didn't spooke them. Everything seemed to be on the Lee ward side of thick hedges but the rabbits were v v twitchy. I didn't see or even hear a fox.
Never mind the exercise did me good and one day I might get a fox with my .204.
Intend to get out again this even just hope the wind moderates a liitle.
