crow killer

Had a wait tonight, thoroughly expecting to see some foxes, but not a one seen, some road kill had all been eaten last week, and more put out yesterday, I got into my sheep field shelter, just after dark, travelling there on my quad bike, pickup yoked up to trailer ready for loading lambs in the morning,, the bait was out about 60 yards away, had my tikka 243 night force scope and pard 007 on, Pulsar thermal spotter around my neck, constantly looking around expecting a fox any time, nothing much was seen tonight, normally theres a couple of hares, I did see an owl probably a barn, flying over the rushes a couple of times, heard a tawny calling in the woods , and a badger was probably feeding on worms seen about 900 metres away, it was working about in the same area for most of the time, .
Tonight the weather was kind, no wind and not cold, I sat till nearly half past nine and decided to pack it in. No sign for any encouragement unlike other times when usually a few foxes are seen, even if they dont come near.
I whats apped a friend and ate a couple of biscuits. The sheep were mostly lying down quietly, my rifle was loaded with the very last 2 rounds re loaded by my old friend the late Old Cull Stag, Hubert Hetherington of Penrith, behind them im now onto some factory ammo, V Max, Hubert was a great re loader, I miss him greatly. .......
