Billy. Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Squeaked 5 cubs out early today. They were looking at me and happily sat there for 5 mins. Unfortunately couldn't shoot them as that permission is a sewage treatment plant, which is overrun with rabbits, so they need the foxes to help keep the number down. I don't know of any chicken pens in the area, so no real risk. Plus they have about 10 acres of land heaving with bunnies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 They are no more than 200 yards from a fairly large driven Game shoot... I would have slotted them mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 They are no more than 200 yards from a fairly large driven Game shoot... I would have slotted them mate. Not Gus' shoot... I though that was the only one. Anyway, my mate said he might let me have one next time. However there's a chance one of the workers at the site might be watching them and it'll be my mate who could get the blame if they go missing, potentially losing his permission. :blink: only shoot what you're asked to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 None out of the holes as yet although we have bolted a couple of vixens that where killing lambs that had cubs in the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Not seen any cubs around here yet I don't think it will be long before I do! Unfortunately most of the earths where I expect to see them on my permissions are too close for comfort to fields where the ewes and lambs are put out, so any foxes or cubs that show their selves had better behave and chose their diet carefully or they will be getting fed with a 50gr .222 bullet fired by "yours truly"!

Frenchieboy Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I was out having a walk yesterday and spotted a vixen with 2 cubs. I was not expecting to see them so I was not moving as quietly or stealthily as I could have been so she might well have more than 2 cubs which I could well have frightened off and back underground before spotting them! This is on land where I was planning to have a foxing session with the lamp next week anyway so things are looking hopeful, especially as I have now located someone that "knows what they are doing" and has a couple of good experienced terriers if I nail the vixen first!
