Small Game

[adam]

Well I've had the Bowerang tgba recurve out over the last week with a few small critters falling to some well placed arrows. The first was a couple of rabbits taken with g5 small game heads. The next afternoon I called 4 foxes in but had no luck in closing the deal with the foxes being on the ball, old wise foxes. I also seen 3 young foxes fresh out of the den and surprisingly they are all ready hunting and standing about half a full grown dog foxes height. The next afternoon I found another 2 young foxes half the size of the 3 I had seen the day before. I just studied these foxes and will catch up with them in a month or so when they come into the whistle better.

Late afternoon I spotter a medium sized fox standing on top of a log and with very little coming to the whistle (had a lot ignore the call) I decided to stalk him. I closed the gap to 12meters and had to pull up due to dry leaf litter further on. He stood up from a laying position and I set a arrow tipped with a razor Blackstump through him length ways. He dropped into the end of the log and died just out of arms length. After a bit of cave man style rock axe cutting (breaking) I finally recovered him. After a closer look he seemed to be from this years mating, but bigger yet again then the first 3 cubs I had seen. They must have had a wacky breeding cycle this year.

Is anyone else seeing this years cubs getting about.

Sorry no pictures camera was out cold.

Havn't had a fox come into the whistle/call for ages, they are very quiet where I go.....

I'll see a dozen Rory and be lucky to get one mature fox to the whistle most afternoons, but some still come in after a bit of convincing. come feb, march we'll be busy skinning a few I reckon.

Well done on the fox and bunnies mate.

I have just finished 2 weeks flat out roo shooting around here and have been seeing bloody heaps of fox cubs out and about. Like you said they seem to be all over the shot size wise.
