25%


Please excuse the picture quality, not up to my usual standard. Last nights lamping session included three of us, Stephen, Martyn plus me. The result being one body plus two to be 100% confirmed. The reason for the 25% heading is that 4 reynards were shot at with only one picked up. One was a complete miss whilst the other 2 will hopefully be confirmed as kills later today when Martyn takes a look in daylight. One was lost on the ploughed field so it should be in a deep rut and the other after taking a good wallop slinked into a hedge row. There should be a blood trail to follow on that one. The one pictured is a young dog fox which even after the damaged inflicted by the bullet managed to run approx 20 yards. The instinct for survival is overwhelming.
