I decided I really needed some field time, with work over and done with at 8pm I relaxed at home then grabbed the kit and headed off to the permission.
My new fox caller a ucaller had arrived from eBay and I was looking forward to testing it out especially since it boasted a upto 100m range off the remote.
On the permission I walked up the track as per normal scanning around with the nv and little floppy lugs sat no more than 40yds away so standing with the sling wrapped around my forearm I put it down.
Finally got into position after nearly breaking my kneck climbing over some corrigated tin the owner has put up and placed out the caller, I got back to my shooting spot hit the remote and nothing walked closer and nothing... It worked fine from 100mm away but that's it ?? So that's now to go back. I grabbed the unit and fired it up without the remote put it on a rabbit in distress and then switched to a fox call. 20mins later when I was just about to shoot the caller as i was slightly miffed when I spotted the eyes.. The infamous eyes of foxy staring at me from 105yds away
I put the cross hairs smack inbetween them jewels and set for the shot controlling the adrenaline and breathing I squeezed on the exhale and lads you could of heard the crack of its head popping across the valley.
The shot had struck gold and the fox dropped in a way that you just know they won't be getting up. As I walked over there I was thinking to myself "is this the fecker that robbed my bunny the other week straight after I had just shot it or not ?"
It looked about the right size when I got up to it and a quick check showed my round had not just hit the head but had struck the exact point of aim
Once I'd dragged the fat sod back to my sniping spot I noticed another floppy ears munching away at 125 yds.
The bolt wa cycled and the round released once I was happy that I had the breathing/ trigger control set.
Buggsy just rolled over dead and after a quick gut and hang I had reassumed my position and was hoping to get foxy no2.
Unfortunately nothing else came in so I packed up grabbed a few pics and headed for
No cuts this time and I feel seriously better for it but now I have to sort out getting either a better caller or at least my funds back
So on a hole a good night and one I needed for defo.
Atvbr lads and happy hunting
Ps if any of you use a digital remote caller I'd be very interested in your make / model and call playlist etc
Max...
