bignoel Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 i have noticed when shooting baited foxes that they behave strange for instances i was waiting on a large dog fox. he appears goes to baited area starts to feed BANG over he goes drops where he is not a stir secounds later a vixen appears she approahes the baited area where the dog fox lays on his side dead and being very carefull and weary of him has a sniff around him then all of a sudden its like she says sod ya and starts to feed next to his body BANG the two lay beside each other . now i shot a vixen with a cub beside her she dropped on the spot and the cub jumped back but then carreid on feeding BANG he dropped now they bled quite a bit leaveing blood on the ground so i removed them now the rest of the cubs approached the baited area with there blood on the ground had a sniff each but carried on feeding where they were each dispatched 1 at a time . now the animal sence's and all that malarky didnt seem to knick in and this has happend quite a few times the not so wiley fox heh.noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'd suggest its the difference between urban foxes and rural ones, the rural ones tend to be fairly well educated to have survived long enough to have cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v-max Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Iv had it happen once or twice to me & we dont have urban foxes here. Mine was a december night lamping when we picked up a pair & shot 1 of them dead on the spot. The other had took off to a good safe distance Then ran out & winded the dead fox then came trotting in & we shot that dead woth rifle & no mods. Went out to look & they were side by side dead dog & vixen about 8-9yrs ago. Last year & iv had this happen a few times but with cubs mainly. I went out about september about 7-8 o clock & sat off a wood for roe . I was sat there & out came a pair of mature foxes with a smaller chassing a bigger 1 so i took the smaller & the other took off. I was going to give it time but after 1min out came the other & walked causously up to the first fox & i dropped it 10ft or so away fae the first it was dog & vixen i& i shot her first & i thought it was her. Iv shot a few foxes like this stalking but only 1 or had cubs nobother pop out within minutes of each other but its not that common with the mature foxes.
