MrPhantom Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 If you mean 'Fox Wars', it's made me realise there are some strange folk about! A bit of shooting footage though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttfjlc Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Interesting watch so far, hopefully people will have a better understanding of the difference between urban and wild foxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesWhat Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Unfortunately, a quick check on twitter for #foxwars shows how completely uneducated the general population are. It doesn't matter how much damage Charlie causes, how many times he kills chickens, craps on their doorsteps or rips their bins apart, these fools think foxes are cuddly and cute. Some of the comments makes my blood boil, but I think there's very little you can do to turn their urban views around. They've never come into contact with a real fox, seen first hand how bloodthirsty they are and what the are capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Essex Hunter Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I would like the £200.00 a fox....that would be £15800 so far this year....Lush TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigadam Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Was it me or did he release a fox once caught on public television Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) I don't shoot foxs as I've never needed to but having watched nobby in action it seems all you need is an empty Tin of whiskers with a fork, give it a shake and the foxey comes running. He did flea treat them before moving the problem/fox on to be fair. Edited October 22, 2013 by GingerCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reece Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Old nobby wants a clip round head He said that people complaining about damage to chickens should keep their chickens secure. How exactly are you supposed to do that? Foxes aren't as easy to exclude as some people make them out to be. They are quite good at breaking into things like chicken sheds.

russian sniper Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Is it true though??? Would landowners really pay someone £200 per fox!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Caused an interesting conversation with swmbo, she said she wanted to feed the foxs in our new house, I recommended she fed the hedgehogs instead, why's that she asked, becasuse I will feed the foxs of course. She perked up at this and then I pointed out it will be about 50 grams of something just subsonic and she got the Harris and went to bed. Ho hum. Looking forward to having chickens again and I don't need a concentration camp at the bottom if the garden to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double10 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 watching now on iplayer, not entirely sure why that woman would hit the fox then put it in a dustbin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've never come into contact with a real fox, seen first hand how bloodthirsty they are and what the are capable of. I think the issue is that all we ever see are pictures of healthy foxes, and dead ones with some bloke smiling holding his gun. Next time you see the damage a fox does - like killing chickens, lambs etc, take a picture of that. People don't see that side of the story.

Gimlet Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Seen programmes like this before and I've always wondered what rounds these pest controllers are using. I couldn't use a .22 lr in an urban back garden, subs or HVs. My heart would be in my mouth. After every shot I'd be waiting for the sound of breaking glass and shouting.

aris Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 On the show I think he said it was a .223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstenson123 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Nobby wants hitting with a stick & putting in the bin!! Looks like he's had breast cancer in his right t-t , bet the neighbours wish he was riddled with it. He was using a 223 but he used a22 LR on the last fox what it showed when he fed it.

He did flea treat them before moving the problem/fox on to be fair. Yup he handles the cub, moved on the vixen and the rest of the litter and then poured on a flea treatment to change the smell of the cub and make sure the vixen didn't take it back. A total idiot but probably why some of the Herts boys just inside the m25 shoot so many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
