Country Boy Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I heard of a guy who used to catch feral cats in a live cage trap then shoot them but just occasionally he would leave the live cat in the cage moving it close to where he intended to do some crow shooting, the crows would come from miles around to mob the cat only to fall victim to his trusty .22, and at the end of the day the cat would suffer the same fate as the crows did.

Is that legal? I have a victorian stuffed fox that will be going for sale shortly.If i dont get what i want for it he might just get put to work. Anybody else used a fox to annoy them?

Sten Ch Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks, Mr Smith! We use it here in Sweden when calling foxes with a hare call, imitating a wounded hare. It is good for diverting the fox's attention from the caller/hunter, so it gives you a better chance. By the way, this method of fox control is extremely effective if done right.

Anybody else used a fox to annoy them? The skin of a fox, filled with a few old newspapers and hung up so you can make it move by pulling a string from the hide, usually does the trick. I once heard of a guy who tethered his (wife's?) long haired fox coloured dachshond in front of the hide and swore it was very effective. Let's hope the dog wasn't gun shy... Here in Scandinavia we used live great owls before it was banned 50 years ago. Since then we use stuffed owls or home made ones, made of fur from hares or the like. Can be extremely effective in early spring. But the problems are to hide well enought and that the fake owl doesn't move. One bright guy solved both problems in one stroke. He made himself a dress of hare's fur and a balaclava-like hood in the same material with big orange eyes in the forehead. Legs covered with a piece of burlap (today he would probably have used some camouflage netting) he sat down with his gun in his lap, moving his wing-like elbows and turning his head. The crows went mad and virtually attacked him. Then he justa raised his gun and - BANG! Truly genious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
