dunganick Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 should have told him the only way that fox is ever entering you woods is dead, so its probably best he keeps it under his shed :unsure: you do get some funny questions from some people when they see you shooting.

Cranfield Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Suggest he contacts the RSPCA, they might live trap it for him..........................................and then release it in your woods. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 :unsure: Had a similar thing happen a few weeks ago when a friend rang me to say that she had found a nest of mice in her garage. It is a large double garage full of all sorts of household stuff and furniture so I wasn't really surprised. I agreed to get rid of them for her and would be over with my air rifle. Shrieks of horror and was promptly told that all she wanted was for me to take them into the countryside where they could live in peace. After giving her the first 10 reasons that came into my head why I wouldn't do this, including the bit about the mother and who would feed them, she told me to forget it and she would call environmental health in. The local rat catcher duly turned up at the appointed time and immediately found another nest of mice in the garage which were happily living in the back of an armchair. He then picked up a suitable length of 2x2 and suggested that my friend left the garage while he set about his work. The young were quickly taken care of but of course he didn't get the mothers so he then put down poison to finish the job. It didn't end there though as a couple of weeks later she had reason to believe that one of her Yorkies (mine actually) had eaten some of the poison, so that cost her £80 at the vets to have her pumped out and given drugs. Turned out that she hadn't eaten any at all. I then asked her if next time she finds a mouse nest wouldn't it be cheaper and more humane if I came over and shot them, to which she reluctantly agreed with me, in that way that only a woman can after being proved wrong. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
