Bad wet weather had put a stop to things lately. A dry evening spurred me into action. I have a couple (3), ok, a few bait pipes. All were being visited nightly. The easiest one, where I could sit in the truck was after over an hour and a half a non runner.
I moved off to where I could see 2 bait pipes from my vantage point. The cold was setting in and I decided to give 5 more…. With that a fox stuck its head out of a ditch and trotted across the field. I faffed the first shot owing to having gloves on. Unphased the fox ambled across the field. It paused and this time without a glove on I sent it on its way.

Do what ?

I cut a little slit in the trigger finger so I can pop said finger out for a shot. Well done though.

Sealskin do fold down waterproof mits. Quite useful of you suffer from cold hands. I wear MacWets climatic gloves. Excellent and good trigger feel as thin leather. If need be I have a worn out pair with trigger finger missing.

#16 and #17 tonight both dog foxes.
2 different farms but both called in to under 60 yards

The fields here now are literally like a bog. Whatever is not under water is just soft mud.
Impossible to try and stalk anything unless on high ground
First dry night I could get out for a week

Have you tried holding the phone still when you take a photo

At least you can hold a rifle still which is the main part but could try harder with the photography skills

 

[Tim.243]

Recovered this one from last night as I came to check the rape this morning for pigeons and it was a much shorter walk.

I never wander around the foxing ground, just overwatch from high points rotating on different phases of moon, let them come to me.

I am the same couple of stands as type of ground only allows these spots for safe back stops , sometimes I have sat for 3 hours just watching wild life and the rat race go by lol , but starting to suffer from cold finger tips and cold feet , tried those hot hands for sticking on your socks , absolutely useless they need air to keep them going and stop after app 30mins , they say take your foot out to allow air to get ay em again lol joke .

Heated socks can help, I had two pairs for Boar drives in Europe, but not that cold here, I do have a problem with Raynauds syndrome but I keep that at bay with these items;
THAW heated hand warmers, Times two, tucked into one of these;

I've walked miles looking for a particular fox only to get busted. Slightly annoyed!!

"The best laid plans of mice and men", hey Smelly
Mine was scuppered as well... some knob has taken the bunch of keys home with them, so I couldn't get into the barn to use the recently repaired Gator to get around the whole farm, I'm just about done with walking through the mud in the dark looking for unicorns foxes, I really fancied covering all the ground tonight chugging around in the Gator, perfect night for it as well in Norfolk, a fair wind, dark and can you believe it dry

 

[BenBhoy]

No foxes were harmed in the making of my evening. Had an hour calling with foxpro then 3hr walking to edge of forest & back - nadda. Rabbits, billions of hares, healthy scattering of woodcock but no Charlie.

Still on #0 for the year!!

 

[Foxyboy43]

Out twice this week in between continual monsoons - nada except a very big badger the speed of which continues to surprise me. It and friends are making some mess of the soft wet ground - looks like wild boar have been at work - I wish….
