Finally shot one tonight, got into position in the little sheep shelter at 8pm, just before that topped up the bait with roadkill and set out the bestfox caller ISO tec, I see the red light is always on, and as there had been a heavy shower I put it in a clear plastic bag and kept the red light down side out of sight. Got in and started waiting, 8pm, sat and sat, it was like being in a wind tunnel in there tonight, wind coming blowing in through the window, saw a hare a coupe of fields away and a fat cat from the farm was there near the bait. thought id stay till 10pm and then go, just at 10 a fox came in, right up to the bait, the .243 did its job, and the 75grain vmax made a massive exit , theres some power with them. I used the caller a few times, I dont think theres the number of foxes here as last year , for 9 waits ive only had 2.
It was a bitch so always prefer them, dont know if it was a late cubber, certainly no obvious pregnancy, if it is in cub they are a long way off.. One less to bother the lapwings, which is the only reason why I sit out, to give them a better chance of rearing. A truly very attractive animal, . Lapwings 1 foxes 0. The next 2 weeks are important to take a few more into custody. After that its lambing time and ill be too busy.
