Walker570 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Munties just love apples as can be seen by this young buck attempting to get a large Bramley down. The trail cam had a constant trail of animals including an 'VEGAN' fox. ooops missed the VEGAN fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Foxes are omnivores and can consume a large amount of vegatable matter. They do have a liking for sugar beet among other things, anything sweet is a favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 On the night time picture I can see what look like eye reflection in the background, or is it something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched one walk along a ride one morning when stalking and it was sniffing and picking the ripest blackberries being very selective. Lucky fox because told not to shoot them on that estate.

Mine where some bramleys out of our orchard and we baked a couple of big ones and they where delicious, so sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Just looked at those 'eyes' in the fox picture. If they were animal eyes then I am giving up that piece of ground !!!! Bit too far apart for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 A fair margin for error in shot placement tho! 😇 12 hours ago, Walker570 said: Just looked at those 'eyes' in the fox picture.

Big Mat Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I shoot a number of orchards and they can be a magnet for the deer, mainly roe and muntjac, just having small blocks surrounded by open ground which I can't shoot, makes getting them difficult sometimes!

If it were eye shine then it held pretty steady for 3 1/2 hours.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
