The Essex Hunter Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I know they are in there...however this Buck likes the night life, I took the pup with me this evening so I could make him sit and wait while I watched the land below me. The same area I shot a dog fox last week but with the Buck on my trail camera I was hopeful, a fox came out but I let it pass as the noise from the shot could easy disturb the area. The light was fading when a dark shape caught my eye....could it be him....#### the fox had come back. You don't get a second pass in my book....I took Chip and sat him up 30 yards from the fox and to be honest I never picked it up to see what sex it was as I had the dog with me so how it is in the picture is where it laid. Chip never moved so I was very pleased with his steadiness and is fast asleep after all the excitement.... TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nice one Tim, I had my young one out last night at the base of a high seat, we had fallow within 15 yards and a fair few muntjac and she was very steady, like you a nice vixen to round the evening off. Unlike yours she did like a rag of it but that's just like her mum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Essex Hunter Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thank you.....I wont take him near a fresh fox as you never know what they have. You cant protect them from every thing as it is a working dog but the steadiness was what I was looking for... This ground is very close to me so like you say Andy a few more trip and I might get him but if it was a long drive I would not be so keen....

TEH That's why advocate is good sorts mange as well as fleas and the likes. I shoot a lot with nv and if you leave them out in crops waiting for another it's hell finding them. My gwp though marks them from the shot sound she is a proper ****** on foxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEH Yeah, there is quite a bit they can carry besides parasites and an encounter with a still live one is not what you want as smaller dogs can take a bit of damage if they mix it. I am trying to break my lab from any interest in foxes, unfortunately he got stuck into one when he was only a puppy and it seems to have stirred a latent interest in him. Its not like its so easy to expose them to a lot of live foxes as you might rabbits and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
