Nice shooting brinny. I'm curious what your method is. I've only ever shot foxes opportunistically during daylight hours while out shooting pigs on foot. Are you moving around the paddocks spotlighting from the vehicle, or static and whistling them in?

Brinny cheats...he has infiltrated NASA & got hold of an invisi-fox jacket & gun lube...
He just puts the jacket on & rubs his gun with the film & they walk right up to him. :sarcasm:

Nice going brinny...ive been lazy & too much of a woos this year & not wanted to brave the cold out in my swag...

Seeing your pics is slowly getting my crazy thoughts of sleeping in my swag in minus 3 degrees back...!

You should post a link to this thread in fox pages. :thumbsup:

You have to get off the bloody sofa and get out and get some of that 2am good clean country fresh air in your lungs mate.....nothing like it....
and sitting around the campfire hanging out for it to get dark enough to head out....

Reckon i could have grabbed hold of my bugle and snapped it off when i woke up on Sunday morning it was that cold....when you hear the ice crack on the swag flap when you throw it open, you know its cold...
Dont hold back mate....into them.....

Pretty basic stuff how i go about it BBSS.....I do a lot of driving and stop periodically and scan with my monoculor....once i spot a critter, i head over in his general direction with the lights off untill i reckon im close enough...they are pretty inquisitive critters, and if they dont see a light flashing around, usually hang about wondering whats going on....once close enough...generally between as close as i can get and 300m....i poke the rifle out the window and curtains for old brer...mind you i use thermal all the time now so there is no light whatsoever involved....except when i wander out to pick the hapless victim up....even when im driving around, its usually with only the parkers on, or even no lights at all..i pick my routes when im scanning with the monoculor..seems to work ok as i get the results with that method....

hi brinny,i know you blokes from the other forum,i just believe in respect and anonymity while online. that's why i just referred our mate as the famous SES guy. i keep the same name for both forums,as names,passwords and IT not my strong points,but anything thru a scope is something we call history or past tence,just like those foxes hahaha. well done brinny. :drinks:
