biggles Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi all, Guess Ive been hunting for around 35years now, hunted most of Aus in that time, more a buff, wild bull, porker type of hunter now days with the occasion deer thrown in. Find it a bit more entertaining when the target has a chance at having a chance to give back the luv. This time of year is usually spent hunting wheat crops, nothing like watching the grain part as a big boar go's for a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklinsnapper Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi to all, Spotlight fox shooting at least once a week is what I do almost exclusively- 2 x lightforce spotties (one rifle mounted) in the back of a Mazda Bravo turbo diesel. Rifle used is a Ruger M77 stainless synthetic in .204 Ruger with a Leupold VX3-L 6.5-20 x 56mm. I use Hornady 32gr and 40gr V-Max ammunition which seems to be a great combination so far. Up until 2 months ago I was using a Ruger M77 stainless laminate in .22-250. It had been a great rifle but was not grouping well enough for the long range shots we are usually presented with in the open country sheep paddocks where I go. I usually deck a few bunnies with a Brno .22 when foxes are thin on the ground from the beginning of Spring until all the young dumb foxes start getting about around mid-December. Have got 51 foxes this year. Usually average about 120 foxes per year off two adjoining properties that belong to a couple of farming mates. We see plenty of other game under the light but foxes are our quarry and all other creatures (except cats) are free to go on their way undisturbed. Deer are spotted every time we venture out but I have no interest in hunting them. Most deer seen in one night is 7. Mostly hog deer sometimes a fallow or two. Once we establish that the eye-shine is from a deer we drive on looking for ferals. My wife thinks I'm mad when the weather gets cold and windy and I start talking about 'how perfect the weather is for fox shooting'. Beats the hell out of watching bloody TV at home in a warm lounge room. All good fun. Hoping to share info on this forum and learn any new tricks from other members. Also interested in other members experiences with new gear- lights, callers, rifles etc. Cheers, Franklinsnapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
