Sprackles Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I don't believe the fox could kill it.......scavenger though, clean up the bits. Conspiracy theory here we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I don't believe the fox could kill it.......scavenger though, clean up the bits. Conspiracy theory here we go. Wild animals (deer) get sick, injured and die of old age etc all the time, I have no recollection of this specific thread but in principle a fox will not go near a healthy deer, however, they will pester/potentially kill an injured/sick deer. I have seen it myself, a fox was up the rear end of an injured Roe Doe which was obviously very lame (for some days) with a really bad rear leg, the fox was actually nipping at it's ****. I decided to shoot the fox but it disappeared before I could take the shot, so thinking about the situation I actually shot the deer. The fox ate well, the deer didn't suffer anymore.

Hamster Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 How do wild cats dispose of their stools, also what make of camo clothing do they favour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 How do wild cats dispose of their stools, also what make of camo clothing do they favour? Good points. Who taught them their impeccable green cross code skills which prevent roadkill, and how do they make their corpses disappear without trace when they croak? And despite the hundreds of 'sightings', how come no one has produced a photo which isn't clearly a fat moggie or out of focus black lab?

anser2 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 On the BBC radio yesterday they had the results of the DNA test on the pasr eaten deer. Plenty of fox DNA , but no big cat DNA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the big cat had gloves , hairnet etc on so as to leave no DNA after his shocking crime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
