    Grendel and Fallow meet

    Hi the hoard.

    I got a long awaited call from a Gamekeeper friend this morning. He has been having a problem with a particular fox of late, and I have been offering my services (as you do).

    So this is my afternoon, I arrived at the farm at 14:15 and was sent straight away to a high seat over looking a couple of fields. With the following instructions. I want that Fecking fox, failing that a neck shot pricket (young male fallow).

    The weather has been very misty and drizzling here this past week and toady was no better. So I set off toward the seat as I make my way through the mist at about 300m I see one of the largest Bucks I have ever seen, we have a strain of fallow here which occasionally throws out a white one, which he was. He was however neither a fox or a pricket. So I had to let him make good his departure in his own good time.

    After watching the local wildlife for a couple of hours, the world was starting to merge in to that grey you have, when the end of a misty day.

    I was starting to collect my thoughts about leaving, when the pricket started up a slope toward me. With my heart racing, shallow breathing I turned in the seat and waited for him to come out from behind a hedge. As he did he started to feed head down blissfully unaware I was even there.

    I sighted on the atlas joint (neck shot only for this keeper) pulled the trigger, and he fell to the spot.

    The keeper was happy as was I, as I have been invited back tomorrow at dark O'clock to get that fecking fox.

    Sorry about the picture quality but you get the idea.

      I like the shot placement, what was your range?

        He was 100m more or less.

        After he was dressed out he weighed in at 65Kg

        It was a 123g sst (factory) that did for him.

              Good shot! Nothing like being out in the open air with a rifle. . . .

                    Nice harvest. Congrats. Have you thought about getting the Ase Utra S Series muffler? You could reduce the overall profile of your fire stick, and since you aren't in the US, you can buy Finnish cans.

                          First off all thanks everyone for the kind words. I hope you all had a good thanksgiving.

                          LRRPF52, I have one of these for my AR .223, it is heavier than the can in the photo. The one on the photo is a reflex moderator and when on the rifle protrudes no further forward than it would if it where an ASE Ultra.

                          That "Fecking fox" still lives, even though three of us have spent two days worth of mornings and nights after it.

                          The good news is that the Keeper is now asking if I can help to fill his venison orders...

                          Happy holidays folks.
