Foxes
Hi guys, don't often post in this section, but here are a couple of foxes my buddy shot on Friday night past.

We were out on a sheep farm in county Tyrone, N. Ireland at around 11.00pm. I was on the spot light, rifle used was a Ruger 222rem with a sound moderator.

This was the first one to get the bad news at about 120m :


There was a pair together here, this one was shot at about 80m, it's buddy did not hang around to offer another shot:

Aaron, we shot three big dog foxes in little over an hour, after being out for 2 hours and seeing nothing. We couldn't pick up the 3rd one as he was over a drain with about 4 feet of water in it.

Bloody heavy too, they both were 16-18 pounds each.

Good to see you lads out and about giving the wee foxies the run.

Reminds me of when I lived in Belfast in the Rosetta area a long time ago. Surely miss Ireland and hope to return in the near future.
