Still after one this one....


Recommended Posts

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....

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 :lol:

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....

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

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.
