It has been an interesting weekend, Friday I bought a Berreta M/L shotgun! It came not cheap but with alot of shot some powder and caps. It is a shame the guy did not know how to look after a BP barrel

Interestingly I have read that these superimposed shoot ball real good and I can report it is true, bottom barrel is smack on at 40 paces and the top barrel 3" higher-might come in handi one day

After a frozen night and fox's yaping all night I just had to be in my woods for first light so with 94 in hand I made a stand and gave a call, then another call. After 20 mins I noticed something to my left but it was obscured by brashings. The light breese was left to right most of the time but every now and then right to left and do you know what - that was a fox in the brash and it waited untiill the wind was in it's favour and made an approach. I unfortunatley was looking the other way

I moved to a new area and made a new stand. After 20 mins of calling I was about to give up when 100yds to my right some pheasants flew out of the bracken-hmm I thought and kept watch. Looking in the same direction but at say 70yds he showed very cautiously. As I turned my coat brushed on the tree I was standing by and now the fox was fixed on me, both of us was locked on to each other and I could not move with the carbine half mounted! Luckily a scrubby birch was between us and helped to break my outline and the moment he turned his head I was on his shoulder and touched her off. On the shot I thought I had pulled it to the left and was expecting a miss but no it was a good shot, staight on the left shoulder and out the right ribs. A beautifull specimen, I love them as they are there but you just don,t see'em unless you can tease them out or have some luck. A very intelligent worthy preditor being out smarted by another preditor. Make mine a 94 in 30/30
