Blind Fox.

Has anyone ever seen this before?

This vixen came to the whistle and sat at just over 100yrds, only problem was she sneaked up on us as we could not see any eye shine! It was easy to identify as a fox so I dropped it, only to find it had no eyes, the lids were not just stuck together but the eye balls seemed to be missing.

It can't have been an issue as she was in very good condition.....the other two we shot on the same night in the same field were in no better health apart from they had eyes!

Just wondered what could have caused such an injury/disease..

i shot one once the same as i saw her in the lamp i had no shine back to me so i had to check twice it was a fox,only this one was like grasshopper with white eyes,they can survive blind as this one was quite old,in fact twice that has happened,as much as we hunt the fox it is a serious survivor i will say that for sure....

Age wise I would have said she was one of this years cubs going by her pristine teeth, the other two from the same field were probably siblings....... strange thing nature, still I think we did her a favour as the weather gets harder she may have struggled to survive, thanks for the replies.
