al4x Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 shot a milky vixen week before last dog is still about and they are just starting to leave signs of playing out. I've sort of left them to get a bit more mobile so they are easier to sort out with the rifle as the hole is in a horrible place to shoot. **** law shooting the vixen as the dog has been giving me the run about for weeks always skylined and you are so restricted where you can sit, two sides are straight at the village.

Hezbear Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Had 3 litters with the terriers on call outs, horrible job but it has to be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 update to this had my first two above ground while having a walk about the pens yesterday, shot the first not far from the hole and the dog collected the other. A pretty good size and well could have left them but it was a location thats hard to sit at so best to get what I could even if they move on. On our ground they tend to get to a certain size then move into the oilseed rape and you don't get hold of them till harvest so any sorted out now give the partridges more chance to raise some young.

Pigeon Paul Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have been watching 4 (Young) cubs playing outside my office window on & off all day. The office I work in backs on to approx 3 acres of woods that the directors own and I get to shoot over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i'm gonna try baiting next weekend, they're holed up about 1/2 mile away in some woods, probably a little early but we'll see what we see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15j Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I havnt had cubs but I nearly had kittens the other day, but thsts another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I haven't shot any yet but I do have a couple of litters that I am keeping my eye on for the time being as my terrier man is not the most reliable of people and I don't want to take a cub out just for the vixen to move and relocate the rest of the litter! I am also getting quite a few reports of foxes being seen out hunting in the daytime trying to get food to keep the cubs happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan-250 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I see one at the side of the road, looked fairly big for a cub to me. About the size of a cat I'd say, maybe a tad bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
