you might be - but the guy concerned presumably has a lamp (or a night scope) so he probably doesnt.

btw i had a further thought about the noise issue, which is that if caerfione pursues that he might choose, or be persuaded, to use a silenced rifle (which would be the first choice for manyshooters anyway) instead of a shotgun.

that would solve the noise abatement side of things , and reduce the maiming, which tends to be a result of the edge of a shot cone catching the target - but not stop the foxes being shot - in fact the kill rate would probably be higher due to the rifle's increased range compared to a shotgun.
