"It is possible to get within 30 yards of a fox, I've done it. It's not easy but it can be done. "

Yes it is possible to get within 30 yards of a fox, having him agree to the 'head shot' may be a problem!

"Well D R you gave the answer in knowing your equipment and having the ability to use it...:)"  You are so right Gene and having done to many times what I can to save pellet shot animals know the out-come.

"Jeff is an excellent marksman and truly understands what game he can take at what distance with which air rifle. He practices good hunting judgment and would not take a shot unless he knew for sure it would do the job."

So nice to know 'Jeff' is such a marksman and responsible hunter!  I'm sure a fox could care less.

I would bet on longislandhunter if he has a Disco in hand and a fox appeared 30 yards away......   Whatever, it's all about shot placement and knowing your and your airgun's limitations.

D R, I somehow feel that you are being a bit arrogant to our replies.. We have many members on the GTA with some very special skill sets. With that said you could understand the GTA members much better if you would read some past posts that they have made. Also many of there post's are accompanied with pictures which in itself tells a story.

D R ,,

Apparently this is a subject you feel very strongly about and that's fine however it's plain to see that further responses to your remarks, at least by me, would be a waste of time so this will be my last.  I just wanted to say I will be looking forward to your future posts, on other topics, I wish you well and I would also like to commend you for your efforts to help wounded wildlife.  I have taken care of my share of injured wildlife in my days and I know the time and effort it takes, I sincerely commend your efforts.  

Shoot ofter D R ,,, shoot straight and take care.

The members like Jeff and myself and several others always practice safe and knowledgeable hunting. One of our main goals is to take down game cleanly with the least amount off suffering. We also have great respect for Mother Nature and the animals the live there, I myself have also cared for many injured animals and returned them to the wild to live out their life. We consume what we take from Nature and do everything to give back when we can. Our passion for hunting go's hand in hand with our passion to care for Mother Nature . Know the man then you will know the hunter in the man or woman. Ed

A properly placed shot with the disco could take out a fox agreed. I would suspect that a sling shot could take it out as well if the shot were properly placed.  I'm thinking that I take great care in placing perfect shots on big game here in Wash. State that the thought of trying to take a fox out humanly with the Disco at 30  yrds give or take is less then wise if you like the one shot one kill philosophy. Then again I know some folks who just dont care.   My opinions only.

P.S. Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one and most of them stink.
