Out last night.

#79 and #80 tonight. First one was a dog fox calling in field next to poultry unit. Got on him but with full moon he spotted movement and took off. Quick whistle and he looked back at 120 yards
Second one spotted as soon as I got out of land rover over a pond in valley about 250 yards away. Tried a bit of calling where it started to come in. But then changed his mine. Had to stop him again with a shout and a satisfying shot at just over 200yards through the shoulders

Wish I had recorded more, we could of watched him barking.
Called him in from 400 yards plus.
Lovely fox.
In the video you see him bolt right, that's because a car comes hurtling up the farm track. More interesting is how my fox uses the car lights to check the shadows out that I am using to hide from the moon! Clever little bugger. I love them.
This was one of two barking dogs on the same farm.

Time to get back after the foxes for me, easier now with the earlier winter dark nights and with work steadying up a little bit but not quite enough 
New 4K Alpexs first trip out, not the best night for it, fullest of full moons, no IR needed, saw a few but all on the move, not much interest in the caller! Back again next week to catch up with a few more!

First one was spotted within seconds of leaving the car and looking around the back of the farm building.
No time to record.
Second chap took three rounds. It was still pretty quick though. I didn't panic. Just kept shooting making every round count.
Called in from 400yds.

I was given some dead ducks couple weeks ago, been using them as bait with them going regularly on camera. Last night of takeaway duck for this little lady. Watching her take it through pard, it really showed how much of a huge IR flash the trail cam set off, the fox visibly troubled by it, hesitant. Soon as got her teeth into bait she was off looking very pleased with herself. Had to give her an "oi" then 32gr of Mr.Hornadys finest. Drop on spot 204. Thats the 3rd young vixen ive had in a row (I think- going to start counting/writing down as NY resolution!)

Nice follow up shots with a necessary bit of holdover thrown in Smelly.
What Pard is that on the .17?

An hour on the rats last night, cattle have been moved out of the most 'ratty' stall so nailed a few in there. 7 in total, which isn't bad for this farm. I have got the numbers down over several visits, but fully aware they soon bounce back if left unmolested. Had a great fat one that the 40gr sub made a proper thwack, also a tiddler that was in bits.
Lucky for me I bet there's no sympathy posts for rats on social media! Poor old rats, nobody loves the wild ones. The only 'humanised' ones i remember are generally portrayed as the baddy. Although Ratty in Wind in the willows was a nice chap I think.
