pin Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Well I thought it was quite sad really, to see such lovely creatures just shot like that especially as they were about to have a family :blink: Who was it asking in here today what a troll was?

Maldwyn Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 All in all, thought it was quality. Some great footage of foxes, comedy punchlines from "fox specialist" and a good display of marksmanship. But thank God I dont live in London.

beatingisbest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 when he said that he would be using a .22lr in London, i immediately thought about riccocets As for that woman who said cant you release this mange ridden fox back out into the countryside :blink: For someone else to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 when he said that he would be using a .22lr in London, i immediately thought about riccocets :blink: I was interested to see what he was going to do, but he did everything right. Nice angle on the shot, let them get used to the food unmolested, right where he wanted them out in the open, for 10 days first. Looked soft grass and the angle was good, well played that man.

dusk2dawn Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Interesting. Very worried about toothy boy and lurch his mate who seem to like foxes too much and feed them on cakes Nice to see them showing a pair being shot, nice angle on the shot and looked extremely well placed. Quite balanced in the end, even if they had to end with the parting "they're back" shot. Well I thought it was quite sad really, to see such lovely creatures just shot like that especially as they were about to have a family D2D Im really disappointed in you all, I thought Id get a right mauling for posting that but obviously I will have to be alot more devious if I want to wind you all up in future :blink: D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I missed it. Please say someone recorded it? Ditto! Have a look at www.uknova.com - all uk TV programs on there, you have to persevere to get an account (keep trying) but once you have it most stuff is on there at most a day after it airs. Im really disappointed in you all, I thought Id get a right mauling for posting that but obviously I will have to be alot more devious if I want to wind you all up in future :blink: With a few notable exceptions we know not to feed trolls, like foxes they don't have any natural predators and just keep coming back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 :blink: He was baiting the foxes with the chickens and made a coup that a cat could have got through, a bit of commen sense and a decent wire and the foxes wouldnt have gotten in!!! I dont shoot foxes but dont mind if others do but that guy was just a total w**ker! Did nobody else think that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 He was a posh knobber yes. Clues: He wanted to shoot them anyway, was very interested in the rifle and round used and like you say built a very weak coop. I will go as far as to say he did it on purpose so he could see them shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah Im inclined to agree, he was gagging to get hold of the gun. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 great programme. The pair of eccentric fox fans made me laugh..Looked like a pair of wino's great ending too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 great programme. The pair of eccentric fox fans made me laugh..Looked like a pair of wino's great ending too. Agree, like 2 London bumbs. The hairy fella with the glasses, what a a class ****. :blink: As you all can see, the .22lr, with skill and experince, with CORRECT bullet placement, can be a very handy weapon, in certain situations. I cull feral cats, in similar cercumstances, its very effective. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troosers Too Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Did anyone read the article in Shooting Times where the writer was saying he felt that fox shooting should be left to professionals? His feeling was that, since the foxhunting ban, foxes were being too heavily lamped/shot and that numbers have had a dramatic drop.

Dr W Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 My thoughts Excellent program. What the hell are people doing feeding foxes in cities like pets. People like the family with the chickens should be shot, 'we're going green!' Having a few chickens in your back garden does not make you and ******* eco warrior or in the slighest bit green. Agghhhhhhhh! Good shots, well placed but there will still be some complaints about the program, well done to channel 4 for showing the kills and not bowing to upsetting a minority of anti's.

pin Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Sadly I would question C4's motives for showing the kills. They have a reputation for being "shock jocks". Bodyshock, Dr Death's autopsies etc. I think they do it to stir up angry debate, any publicity is good publicity etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Didn,t see the programme but have seen one with Germaine Greer about the pros and cons of foxing in varying forms. Very un-biased too! There was a guy in London doing the fox...was he well set with a shaven head..if so have also read an article about him. He does have a special permit to use the rifle in town and get this..he gets £400 for each call out to do a fox in someones garden. He also gives them the option of killing or releasing the fox as long as its healthy. GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Sounds like the fellow, and he did give him the option but the P**ck with the erectile dysfunction was adamant that he wanted them killed. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
