.177 for Foxes???
 

I have a fox problem and I was going to use my bow but for a 50 yard shot would
a Gamo Shadow 100 work ok?

I want them to drop fast so would a .177 pellet gun drop a gray fox at 40 yards?

Head shot or chest shot?

I've never tried it and suggest you dont either.

RE: .177 for Foxes???
 

probably not, I shot a grey with a .17 hmr at 10 feet. double lunged it and it still ran 20 yards.

I am with Browning it will probably not, where you live are you able to use a 22mag of some sorts???? but wait a minute if you check back later there will be a fella on here that will tell you he has done it and tell you how. He will have to google search it first, I think his screen name has a 09 at the end of it.:D

RE: .177 for Foxes???
 

No, lumberjack, you're dead wrong.

He only uses a Savage .223 tactical.:D:D:D


I cant imagine the pellet gun working in this situation.

RE: .177 for Foxes???
 

I doubt .177 will suffice for what you want,50 yards??Why bother with such a close bunny shot anyway? What you really need to makethis sporting isaSavage tactical .223 preferably your uncles,At a range of at least 500yds, Because anything less then 400 is way to easy, Of course you will need WOLF FMJ ammo for this shot;)

We are all here to have a good time and help one another and have some kind of a sense of humor unlike 09

I doubt the .177 will perform up to standards although I do think it COULD kill it. I don't recommend trying it.

I have that same pellet gun. I have a hard time killing blackbirds let alone anything that big.

Use that gun for the smaller stuff. I wouldn't go any bigger than rabbits with it.

in a word.... no
