Nice shooting. I guess the B50 in 22 will work on medium sized game. Florida is getting so ridged on what and when you can shoot I just punch paper.

Excellent shot !! What i a nice trophy.

I like your shooter. She sure seems to be a hard hitter. What does she do over the Chrony?

cute is the only thing going for it. They are a minece to farmer and people in populated areas. Ask shadow's dad how cool and cute they are. They are killing his chickens.

Hi Gus, the GTA Hunting Gate is just that.. A place where air gun hunters can come and show the game that they have taken. In many regions of the US Fox's are a threat to many rural and farming communities where they may raise, chickens, rabbits, and many others species that are on the old Fox's hit list..:) The Hunters here most always shoot for that reason as well as putting some fine delicacies on the table at supper time..:)

Get near my Chicken house and it's dead 'cause I don't want to explain to my 3 year old why her Chickens are gone.

Not to mention that they are in the list top rabies carriers list in the CDC's Rabies surveillance report published each year along with Skunks (#1), Possum & Raccoon .

All due respect sir but taking credit for someone else's kills is ridiculous.

Under review, PM Jeff or I with any question's concerning this post, we value ALL are member's view's and comment's. Ed
: OOo ive had chances at shooting foxes
: February 04, 2008, 11:28:53 AM
Up in idaho while poping pheasants you cover alot of ground and every trip see a fox.  Glad i let them go are foxes anything like a coyote?  Ok i could shoot one of them
: RE: OOo ive had chances at shooting foxes
: shadow February 04, 2008, 12:01:56 PM
Yote's are tougher and bigger, darn smart also. If your looking to drop one make that first shot Golden with no doubt's. I alway's ask myself the 4's. Do I have the shooter for the job?, right pellet for the job!, shot placement and can I put it where it need's to be to drop the predator with maby one or two more effective shot's?. Most of all do I have the skill's to make it happen?. It's something that I flash over everytime  I put the crosshairs on a living target, just thinkin dat's all hehe. Ed

: tat2dman February 04, 2008, 12:32:23 PM
I would agree with you!

Man, if your detective work is as true at it looks I'd say Tat has got himself one HE!! of a gun.  I mean to pull the trigger in Nevada and take a fox in Norway.  Did anybody call The Guiness Book of World Records?

: tat2dman February 04, 2008, 12:35:23 PM
Geesh,guess I shoulda taken a pic. of the carcass...how bout a tooth?I`ll mail it to ya!
: Re: Couldn`t Sleep!!!
: Mstrange February 04, 2008, 12:42:56 PM
more like taken a pic with the gun next to the fox then maybe it would have been feasible.

And the link to the 12 gauge kill in Norway was put up a day before the pics here.  HUH?  Fishy?  I tell you what, send me the raw jpeg pic in it's intirety so I can look at the EXIF info.  That would help convince me you took the pic.
