Rizzini Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Put the snares out last night at my fathers house due to a fox that had swam across the pond onto the island and killed the 2 duck that were nesting there. So put 4 down and one particular one was on a fence line which was between the field where the pond was and the other side was a field with 2 sheep and a lamb in. Heres a pic of the run from the landy, Due to fathers Land Rover Discovery being in the dealers for a repair, he had a 59 plate defender so i used this to get to the pond as the fields are not very nice to walk through, and what a beast it was, so easy to drive and will go through anything. Went to check the snares in the morning, first 2 were blank then as i was driving towards the fence line on the quad where the third was I could see this movement jumping up and down then realized it was a fox. So got off the quad, walked up to the fox and one simple, quiet shot with the .410 to the head and he was dead. People who say snares are cruel have no idea what they are on about, used in the correct way, they are human, and so effective. This fox was clearly no in stress and was a healthy ******. Picture of the snare that was set that caught charlie Fox on the quad Me and Mr.Fox Fox number two for me and hopefully many more to come, as i would like some ducks to breed on the pond this year.

soreshoulder Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 i agree with snares but you cannot say that the fox wasnt stressed it it was jumping up and down, but a quick humane kill did the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Well done mate. Snares are essential, if we didn't have them on our shoot we would have few birds left. Obviously you did the trick and the fox was only distressed as you approached it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
