Went back to the farm to check the bait yesterday at 1300 and the torso was laying where I left it, untouched….so pleased I didn’t sit around for another couple of hours the night before.

Well got an offer from the grandson to drop me off and pick me up save me driving on bad roads etc, got to the perm app 6.30pm got the caller in position and got settled and let things settle , wind not ideal coming over from my front left, at app 7.20pm fox appeared slightly behind and to my right but this area no safe shot, I turned to see where it as heading and it was gone lol ,thinking it would use the wind I was watching to my left as I am sitting in a clump of rocks and gorse but no show. About 5 mins later I see one moving slowly through the reeds away from me , tried all different calls, not interested then remembered Smelly using the hare call so scrolled down to hare sounded more like Foxyboys demented duck lol ,but it did the trick it turned and slowly made its way towards the caller , the reeds are dense so was only getting a glimpse now and then and need it to break cover, and sure enough after what seemed a lifetime it broke onto the field , IR on safety and sent the 55gn BK sleeping pill on its way with the resounding thud coming back and down it went, had another couple come in but would not commit to the calls and very wary ,but they will be there next time.

Are you still watching or did the GS remember to pick you up?

Nice looking fox, looks in perfect condition, even more perfect being deed!
Ken.
Missed a sitter out the window last night. It was snowing hard and I just couldn’t quite get a clear view through the scope.
Plus I’d only been home about an hour from taking my old lab on her final journey to the vets. Head not in the right place and shouldn’t have even bothered getting rifle out.

Used to use 40gns Vmax in the triple deuce many years ago KB but found them to be a bit too explosive so moved to 50gns Vmax trundling along at just north of 3100 fps - utterly devastating bullet on foxes. Never went back….

I have done over the years Ken and will again.
Think you sent me some or 35gn. I'll use anything.

Hi,
How do I find the screen?
As regards what?
I like everything about my Zulus 5-20.
I did contemplate buying a 3-12 thinking the only difference between the two models would be FOV and magnification.
Reading some reports suggests that picture quality isn’t as good with the 3-12, more at higher end of mag.
I can’t confirm that.
I shoot mainly short range, like 30metres to 100 metres and the only complaint I have is the glow from the ir. It’s caused problems in the past but as I’ve a couple of thermal scopes that’s no longer an issue for me.
I’d quite happily use it at all times of day and night.
Cheers, Ken.

Mine use a 0 moa mount.
I tend to keep mine on 5x or 7.5x and finding the target is easy then.
