Just thought I would show this fox cub I got after standing for a goose.
I got it with 1 1/2oz of no1s and 3/4 the volume of powder. Three cards+paper shot cup and OS card.
When the geese wern't to high I gave to little lead and missed
One day one day, if I get a goose then I have only to do grouse and a deer with a muzzle loader shotgun
Very nice..! I'm amazed at how nice the fox pelts are in GB. I've "heard" that a .17 Rem. will do in a goose nicely..

Nath,
I am amazed at how many foxes you nail. Good work! And like others have said, they all look very healthy. We gets lots of mangy ones here in SE Pa.---------------------Sixgun
There should be some more pics soon but what gets me is every time lately I carry a lever I get a blank!
Cheers crs, I am getting tired of the two house brick recipe
Congratulations on the Fox, pity about the goose, next time maybe!
I have a few .310 round balls left over from when I had a 1849 Colt, they might work well in your M/L for Fox!
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
In N.M. they are not that pretty, but there are some big ones; saw a pair of big kits when I went to see my mother.
Running along her fence, about two in the afternoon.
Does anybody know if they mate for life?
Hate to break up a pair.
Nath, I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts on your muzzle loading shotgun. Keep up the reports and the photos.

I was driving around the backroads of the UK this past spring and was astonished at the number of Ringnecked Pheasants running around. It's no surprise there are so many foxes when they have a food supply like that. I can also see why foxes could be a real problem if their numbers were not kept in check by hunters; they'd multiply until they wiped out the Pheasants. Keep up the good work, Nath.

I don't think the fox's get chance to mate for life around here
Actually I don't think they do as come january you find numerous dogs hanging around a single vixen.
Britain has a good head of small game and wild bird life and the fox has no preditors other than man only men aren't men any more over here other than a few die hards, alas the fox has a good time of it.
He is a very clever animal to catch up with, some are very easy but some are real tough to out fox!
GK, why don't you obtain a 410 loader, errm there is one here going and load them .31 ball three at a time and see if that savage will chuck pretty good, my 410's did
