Ruthless Pathfinder XR

My first kill of the day was at 60 yards off the hood of my truck at the trees pictured in the background… I then moved into the building and shot off a rail from 50 yards away. I was murdering them, yes I missed, wind calls, little branches in the way, etc. But I managed to bag thrice the pictured amount. As you can see from one picture the cover was tight and dirty. The sparrow I took inside the hoop house at 25 yards. My most incredible shot of the day was at a range finder measured 111 yards. I thought what the heck, conditions were calms and the grackle was at the very tip of the leafless tree. 10 MILS of holdover and down it went. I still can’t believe it happened. And am not saying I could do it again. But it happened and I decided to cap the day with that shot. All kills and misses🙈, sending CPHPs… The landowner informed me that there is a fox preying on the chickens and asked if I would have a go at it. So tomorrow I will pull out the Ghost and send some H&N 23 grain HP slugs at 25 yards and set her up for some night foxing duty…

That is the result of your long range plinking.
Thanks… The way the Pathfinder was plinking yesterday was simply unbelievable to me. Hits on half wine corks from 25 to 64 yards i simply was not missing. She was literally begging for a pesting session and she got her wish… I understand that all the stars were aligned for my long range kill today. All my other shots were sub 60 yards.

Luis! That is some fine shooting especially the 111yds with 14gr CPHP's! Great pics! I wish you and your Ghost good luck in getting the fox!
I would typically be giving a fox a pass, but if given an opportunity I will kill this one. Particularly since its already killed two chickens. And a request was made. All in all I believe the fox has a great chance for survival because my fox hunting time is severely limited…🙈

I understand! We used to have many red foxes on the golf courses I play but when coyotes moved in....the foxes were eliminated....

When the dairy was active foxes were my friends as I would leave a bounty of rats for them to munch on. Alas those days are gone and now I must, by request target a chicken killing fox… TBD…
