Fishermanpaddy Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Imagine finding that boy in a snare. All the same its probably not as big as it looks. Typical tabloid photorapher placing his subjects at different depths to give the text a bit of meaning.

kevinbird Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 WOW What a size, think we may need to go to 303s soon the urban fox is going to be a big problem soon and then the authorities will start to think about what to do. too lttle too late as usual. i dont think it will be long before someone gets seriously hurt by one. :look: .

steve_b_wales Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 As mentioned in a previous post, a dog fox that my mate and I skinned the other day, was 56 inches (4ft 8 inches long) from tip of nose to tip of tail. It weighed about 20+lb, but cannot confirm that. The pelt is in the process of being tanned. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipper The fox's nose looks stretched because I had just taken it out of the freezer,and there was a lot of ice in the fur. I measured it after it was skinned,and not stretched.
