Daytime Fox Calling in Ireland

Out the other evening at the foxes, I was on a field that had been cut a few days previously and decided to give it a quick call to see if if could get a fox.

I had just set myself up into position and like I always do I sat and watched for 15 minutes before I started calling, I didn't get the opportunity to start calling when this fox appeared out along the bottom hedge. As you can see this fox seems to have a bad limp and was carrying its back right leg. when I examined the dead fox I could see no sign of visible damage.


I was hoping that he would come a little closer for a shot. I tried calling to see if he would come in to get an easy meal. I knew the fox could hear me but for some reason would come in to investigate. After a few minutes I decided to take the shot, I steeped it out and it was roughly 122 yards, which isn't a big distance for the .22-250. The shot placement I was aiming for was the head, my shot went a little low and hit the fox in the neck but still killed it straight away.
