Out last night.

[Nickb]

Freezing tonight and nearly full moon , saw nothing but deer , hares and geese.

Just setting off to think some rabbits out when a message arrived from a smallholder chum. His wife had just chased a fox off, it was trying to get into one of the chicken runs. Swapped the rimfire for my 204, and headed over. A chilly wait for nearly two hours, patience young grasshopper!
Fox appeared atop a boundary berm, then whipped across into a big hedge of a nearby house. Another 15 mins and out he popped, finally offering a shot. Buggered if I could find him though, strike sounded solid and he collapsed, did do a couple of flips so possibly made it into brambles. Smallholder having a look in daylight for the body.
Bright moonlight and clear sky.

what do you all think View attachment 467289View attachment 467290

yes we did Go out on Friday on the lambing fields, but saw nothing at all.
it turned out I was ok to shoot as the painkillers only said don't drive or operate machinery, nothing about firearms .
did a quick dressing change today on the lower cut.

mine looks better when I stapled my dog up a couple of months ago

Mine was in Summer , shot a fox and left it by track . When I returned about an hour later its shoulder had been eaten.

Only foxes on this ground , no badgers or big cats

I shot foxes for a big house with large grounds who had ornate wild foul ,I used to dump the carcasses in the long reeds along the edge of a very boggy part , the owner told me he was out for a walk in a summer day to see what wild life was about and there was a fox circling round about him, when I asked him where you guessed it in the reeds.

Was asked to sort out a rat problem around the cow sheds last night… Took two mags with me (56 pellets)… and somehow still ran out after a solid couple of hours!

Final tally: 52

Crow shot in one of the fields as i was feeding tonight and then got set up and took a vixen by our big pond

Also saw a stoat - (or weasel) chase and catch a mouse - hard to tell in thermal

 

[An Sionnach]

On the rounds checking traps before going to a call out where a lamb was taken
Pull up to see this lady trying to figure out how to get the wrapper off her magpie
Kindly waited while I got rifle ready and loaded

#28 just as light was fading had this lad. Same problem area as last week

 

[john.g]

Not seen any sign of fox the last few times ive been out, got into a spot a little bit earlier and this bugger comes trotting along nice easy 98mt shot

 

[finnbear270]

Just had the call I was hoping not to receive, two separate lambs killed last night, wind is way over any shooting speeds for the .222 & forecast to reach towards 90 through tonight / tomorrow, So going to break out the red lamp & the 6.5 PRC with 143 grain & go up tomorrow T time, two lambs should be enough to carry the killer/s through till tomorrow.

#23 fell to an old eley HV HP tonight. About 50yds.
I was stood between it's approach and it's bait. I forgot to press record on the new to me ht60.

 

[stavross]

Went on fox patrol for a couple of hours, didn’t see any but got a message from an old poacher asking for some dog food, so finished off with half a dozen hares and a rabbit for him, .223 was a bit over the top but they were all dead

#6 I think ..
Poultry & arable farmer near me asked if I'd come tonight. He's known he has had a litter for a couple of weeks.
It's almost an annual call for me. He has some nice high & dry land, which his poultry units sit on. This patch has a nice smattering of rabbits, so he usually has a foxy family in the spring.
Well, he noticed some quantity of white chicken feathers outside the holes, so they had to go. I shot the Vixen, but there was no sign of the dog. The farmer is going to sort the residue out tomorrow morning. Shame, but it needs doing.

Just waiting for a bit of Heliox from Salvesen's for tonight, seriously DEEP depression expected.
