Greetings
Well the doe season has finished for us, my employer's do not go into March for two reasons, one the embryos in the does are getting big and to allow time for other work.
So I turn my attention to shooting foxes with a lamp and the 22 hornet,it is seen as the firm being a good neighbour to the farming community
I have been on my friends farm which is 600 acre of sheep and cattle, he has 450 ewes to lamb and last year the vernimous creatures done a lot of damage.
Up to now we have seen three foxes and got two of them, we were out last night until the early hours, we saw the last one but the second the lamp hit it the thing did not hang around it was off at a rate of knots and never stopped running. It could be a challenge to get it,but I am sure it will make a mistake for a couple of seconds.
One Fox was a vixen in pup so that was a good job done as she would cub around the same time as the planning starts.
If anything interesting turns up I will photograph it and post it.
Regards
Billy
