FOXHUNTER1 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Talking with my mate the other night and got to wondering what is the largest bag of foxes anyone has had in a night. Mine is a mere 8 but I know of a guy in South Wales that shot 32 one night. Anyone beat that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Best I had was 6 so unfortunately nowhere near. I do well to shoot 32 in a year most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foosa Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Had up to six a few times, I shoot quite a bit of ground and am usually out 2-3 times a week and very rarely get a blank night. Normally get one or two a night. I've heard of large numbers being taken in a night, usually including foxes that have been neutered, or old foxes wandering about looking lost!?

Scully Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Had 11 in a little less than two hours earlier in the year. All cubs of course, and as naive as they come. Not pleasant but had to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to you mate I always see you posting lots of kills in the fox tally. No pics though mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can get you some photos loaded of the next few times I'm out, I consider my self very lucky with the ground I have to shoot, I have 6 large dairy farms more or less neighbouring each other with a good mix of woodland, silage fields, and two pheasant shoots to cover. One place in particular just seems to be a magnet for fox and can almost guarantee one or two each week, a friend of mine from mid wales came down for a look once and he had three within 200 yards of each other on one permission, you may now him? He makes a very good line of moderators at his machine shop in llandod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soother223 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 5 for me. Lucky to get 2 per night these days! Nailed one 2 yrs ago on a summer's evening on a cut field 488yds though!(obviously during daylight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think a lot depends on circumstances and time of year, for example if there are cubs about. My best pure numbers wise in one outing is 7, but 4 were cubs. Adult wise, it is 4. As and aside, I have shot an awful lot of singleton adults this year, all in very good condition. I have a sneaking suspicion that a very large and active nearby fox welfare group is releasing onto one of my main farms, which would account for the numbers and relative naivety of some of the animals I have encountered this year. If it werent for the fact that I am commuting to London every day in the week I could probably be racking up some silly numbers, though it's fair to say that wouldnt be through skill particularly! 32 is an incredible number by any standards.

I thought you must have some pretty tidy ground with the numbers you shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 It don't mean much I have shot a few big bags but it's relivent only to the ground if your shooting 30 a night your likely shooting them at a pet food factory. Shooting a few a year a well managed shoot or farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
