What sort of distances are those shots ranging from...?
(I didnt see anything relating to range in the vids).
You must have a good name out there to get asked to do so many fox gigs...
I cant believe there are any thick populations of them left in Vic what with the bounty going for so long now.
Dedpite the time of year, i cant get hold of one decent fur at the moment...
So good luck to you...!!
And good to see your back with a new toy...i can understand the frustration you've endured with the other units--ive just descovered my 4th brand new faulty scope this year--its unbelievsble to think of the money they've cost me with fuel & ammo, not to mention the frustration that can boil to moments of anger..!!!
Cheers Stix...
Ranges were from arount the 80m mark to 260m stepped out....
Not sure about the good name but been doing it from when Moses was a boy..(long time)....and have gotten known a bit around the traps,.....
They are thick down here at the moment with the pups running around....I took a litter of 5 out the time before....young and silly and dont understand what those loud bangs are....
Easy to get big numbers this time of year....
I hunted a bit away this year again and places where i was getting top looking furs were very average at best for some reason....
Im after a really top fur too get mounted and compliment the other one i have....also im after a pup to put with them....
The 204 isnt kind to the pups at all and will need to take the 22 for one i think....
Dissapointing to hear your having scope problems as well....
You can have a rifle worth 20k...but if the scopes fail...may as well be worth 20c.....dodgy scopes render your rifle useless.....and your right about the frustration..(and anger)....time, shells, fuel....all come into the equasion....but that is nothing compared to the frustration of continual misses due to gear failure....
Good luck with it mate....
A day without a hunt, is a day lost.....
