I use a compression app.
I've shot foxes for many years but have always gone looking for them! Generally there have been release pens of game birds in the area that draw the foxes in. I have never thought about the concept of a bait pipe, seems like it would work well if you could regularly feed small amounts of food over time. I guess the pipe keeps away the crows, magpies and anything else that would feed on the scraps.
Anything that gives off a bit of a bang. I used to use fish scraps from the local fishmonger. He closed so now I get the butchers scraps. What seems particularly appealing is pork! When supplies have run out I’ve used dry dog food.
Hmm.
Hmm.
For clarity - I presume you mean “lick out titbits” rather than what you posted - otherwise half the SD massive will be making the damn things!
PS
Err, don’t like to ask and all that but can I have the plans please - my mate is really, like really keen..
That is exactly what I am thinking for coyotes and fox. Not many magpies here but may attract a raven and they are legal to shoot. Great idea. Going to use roadkill. Cut to fit with an ax.
Yep roadkill was my plan, sounds quick and efficient with an ax, just have to make the holes small enough to keep the bears out!
A couple of hours ago - dog in lambing field, spotted it with Axion while it was mooching about but it took off like a bat out of hell as soon as I squeaked. Didn’t have time to adjust the Pard008P focus when it finally stopped to my shout just short of its escape route! Moved its head just as I squeezed the triple deuce’s trigger so caught 50grains of Mr H’s Vmax through the chin en route to the chest.
Kinda pleased with this as I had to keep the B&Q’s finest quads moving and take a very quick shot at all of 237m but above all I remembered to hit “Record”!
Fifth fox in that field in not much more than a week.
Just love my Remmy!
Glad you're back on it my friend.Out this evening for the first time in a while due too me having man flu that took a bit of getting over and a wedding last weekend down in the big smoke, really nice to be back to full fitness and I was rewarded with this dog that came screaming in to my hand squeak to all of 60 yards before taking one to the bib from the.243
. Flue and then that...!
Aye Smelly - always good to get a wee reminder of just what the triple deuce can do.Still sharp FB
Did that lamb get better...the one that sounds like it's dying?
Sympathy I think
Cracking bit of shooting and pest control well done foxyAye Smelly - always good to get a wee reminder of just what the triple deuce can do.
Glad to report that the “lamb” is still alive and well Smelly - sitting up in his jimjams having a coffee. I went through my full repertoire before the fox finally stopped - 10 more feet and he was through the hedge and away. Dunno why he stopped and looked back from whence he came but glad he did.
Delighted the farmer again (no.5) but such a shame he hadn’t contacted me earlier - all the mysterious single-birth ewes’ girlfriends are now producing healthy twins!
Even better he gave me another contact who “needs my services” so will call this afternoon to safety check the land. Nice to get another piece of ground but I do wish it had some deer!
Life is still good; tiring but good….
I know, I’m not sure what was worse, the two weeks of feeling like death or driving 5 hours with the missus and my mother to spend the weekend in the land of the living deadGlad you're back on it my friend.
Big smoke
Aweful just aweful.
