Thread: Out foxing a problem

Went out with the light again last night and got 2 shots with 4 foxes seen.I spotted this one from about 200yrds, got myself set up but it wouldn't look at me properly to get a shot. So after it dissappeared I headed towards the tree that it had been next too. Spotted it again from 150 still near the tree. Got set up again and the fox was nowhere to be seen. Pick up and headed closer and from about 100 spotted it near the tree again. Got set up no fox! So this time I thought I knew what was going on so just waited for five mins with the light off. Turned the light on there is the fox, quickly line it up and just as I squeezed the trigger it turned to step behind the tree. The fox just wasn't quick enough and coped it in the green lungs as it moved.
This morning the kid had been pulled out from between the traps but not eaten. This is one smart fox. I had planned to shoot a duck to use as bait but ran out of daylight before I finnished work [img]htttp//i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g345/Ackley44/IMG_0057.jpg[/img]
