SSS Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) Have a word with the local landowners and let them know. They should have somebody to sort the foxes Oh and make sure your chickens are shut away and fox proof. Dont shoot it with your air rifle Edited February 13, 2010 by SSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pest Expert Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 wen i get my shot gun ndthere in my garden cant i just shoot them ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 The neighbours wont appreciate it but I dont see why not. As long as you tell the neighbours before you do it and none of the shot leaves the garden, there is no legal reason why not. I did it in a house in the middle of town, informed the police first. All good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 im no pest expert just a name and im not sure shes really young nd dont make much noise atm hahahaa Get that turkey in the oven and save her the problems of getting old! If I were one of your neighbours and you started shooting foxes in the garden at night I would not be very amused! If you are really concerned try cage traps!

If you are really concerned try cage traps! Sounds a plan to me, plenty of live traps available, you need to get on with it though and start baiting, and unless you get some very young and curious ones...which is very doubtful of course at this time of year, don't expect instant results, they tend to be very wary of news things!!!
