Good news first, one vixen from last nights session taken on the field above the water meadow. There was a pair of them which were spotted by the keen eyes of Stephen hugging the top hedgerow and the game strip. It took roughly 30 minutes before one got in a safe position to shoot as we were in the water meadow field looking up towards the farm house. The distance was paced at approx 170 yards.
Previous to the successful kill I had missed two others, one a long shot across wind and the another which should of hit as it was around 150 yards distance. After the second miss a quick target was set up to ensure that the scope was on....and it was, so I can only put it down to fox fever when taking a quick shot.
