What a productive evening!
Arrived and got into position with the wind on my face and sun on my skin listening to the birds... And then.... The wind did a 180 & I was worried nothing would show - but in the same breath didn't want to move incase I spoked anything!
I held position hardly moving at all for a good hour and nothing. Loosing hope fast I played some animal distress sounds on my phone and waited some more (hoping the problem fox would come)
Half hour later and there was a roe buck walking down the bank on my right - I get on the sticks admiring it but not planning on taking the shot straight away & low and behold... A fox runs right behind it, wait, a second fox chasing the first!
Go time.
Tracking the first and ranged him at 130 yards and he stopped at the bottom of the bank... 💥 Fox down!
Waited 5 minutes and the second fox appeared again looking about to see where the noise came from... 💥 Second fox down!
What a result!
But it's not over yet - the roe buck is still presenting a shot! 💥
From loosing hope in the evening to three shots being made in pretty short succession - an eventful evening indeed!
Land owner was concerned about the fox & the neighbour is doing lambing so an ideal result!
