I’ve not been out on the foxes for about 6 weeks and I’ve only shot 3 this year, so went to my mates farm last night, wasn’t expecting much as the moon was very bright, I took the .243 with the lamp, big mistake 
called 3 in at different points on the farm all between 90 and 130 yards, as soon as I put the lamp on each fox they were off 
so I’ve now dug the .223 out with the alpex and will be checking zero on Tuesday as I haven’t got much work on this week so a couple of night shifts are on the cards
Even though I’ve not been on the foxes much I’ve knocked a lot of gear over lately, I was on a hare cull a couple of weeks ago and between use we managed 104 I’ve also been out with a lad who works with trees and had 23 deer mainly roe but a few fallow as well, seeing a lot of roe buck so come April we’ll take a few of them

What twist is your .204? I didn't realise you could launch 50 grainers with the .204, I thought it was all light & fast stuff.

#3 for me, bit of cloud and a breeze, and had a gut feeling, so a three minute drive down the road, and a little poke about in a nooks & crannies area of the farm and got close and personal with a vixen, 47 yards. Things went well tonight 
.
.Nos 13 & 14 Sat night.
First farm headed out to a 40 acre grass field which sits down a long track..some scum bags had fly tipped a load of crap on the lane so parked in the adjacent gateway and walked down a field owned by the next door farm where I was going second. Down through the field and pitched up on a bank. Got set up and spotted a fox 350 yards away. Stuck the caller on with a distress call and in it comes. I turned the caller off to make it slow down and it had a quick pause before meeting a .243 round in the bib. When it dropped I knew I would have fun finding it is the grass is getting nice and tall...and I was correct..looked for 15 mins then gave up...headed back this morning to find a nice big dog fox..didnt want it in the silage clamp.
Farm 2 - no luck.
Headed home and wanted to check on my neighbours. Spotted a fox but I was lit up from the yard lights so it legged it. I had an idea where it would go so had a little jog across a couple of fields to see it heading the wrong way. Quick hand squeak and it did a U turn and sprinted towards me. Stopped at 100 yards and down it went. Another nice size dog

Any actual proof of the " little jog across two fields". I don't believe that one bit!
Absolutely no proof mate Maybe a fast walk was more accurate but at my age thats like a jog
Thank god...just need the rain to stopOut last night and never saw a single fox even though covered a bit of ground. Full moon not helping me thinks.
Saw loads of Roe and hares , hares were being randy chasing all over.
Saw my 1st clean roebuck too.
Spring is coming
After a little cogitation, around the amount of barking / calling in the forest next door to the farm, I have elected to do a full overnight Stag & try to convince myself I am overly concerned.
