Went out for the first time since the accident with foxdropper and Yokel Matt,I was lamping as the collar bone still wouldn't take a nights shooting,we got out of the truck and I saw a fox run up the banking as we pulled so when Matt was ready he got the rifle up on the sticks and I flicked the lamp on.She was still there sat watching us at the top of the banking,but,as the crack went off so did the Fox a clean miss!! Not a good start to be honest,so after a bit of ribbing we trecked up the Market garden which is the side of a valley and is very muddy at the moment so the boots were clogging very quickly so it was(for me anyway)a bit hard work.We done the gardens without seeing a fox,although we did see 6 Roe and a Munty doe which was nice.We then dropped down over to a sheep farm that I keep an eye on,and after a quick call a Vixen came storming down from the far side of the valley and straight in to Dropper(they take in turns)down on his bipod and at only 60mtrs it should of been and was a forgone conclusion,one in the bag.Great....I hear you say,but there was a problem,my thigh which has been numb ever since the accident started to get red hot and the pain I was getting was absolutely unbearable,so back to the truck which took a lot longer than it should,and we had a bit of a chat?craic,and then I said to go round again without me and I stayed in the truck.I was absolutely gutted as I wasn't expecting to have any trouble with the thigh at all,and I am going to have to pay for a Physio to try to sort it out,I am getting really pi55ed off with it all now especially as it is eleven weeks today since the accident and it is still feckin' me up,I am not very patient you see! Anyway,here is the Vixen that most probably took 14 hens last week from a smallholder next to the sheep fields............
