gixer1 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I squeaked one into about 25 yards about 2 weeks ago and then again with my mate leaning over the roof of the truck, he actually had to tell me to stop squeaking as it was getting so close...they are cute little ******* up close....

dogfox Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) while lying in the brush one day out with my mate and his dad, a fox walked over my mate, he legged it out of the bushes behind us not seeing or hearing us and walked straight over my m8, i dont know who was more scared after the shock of it, my m8 or the fox!

bullet boy Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Now that is close! Is it an urban fox or wild country one? Looks in good condition. A tame one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codling99 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 ive called badgers in to my feet and took pics,foxes ive called in to around 20/30 yds,would have came all the way in but the shotgun stopped them . some will come some wont,urban foxes will play in your garden if you let them.

Highlander Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) This was from a friend in Sweden staying in the backwoods on a hunting trip. They were having dinner one night on the back porch when they saw foxy in the woods so my friend squeaked it in for a bit of fun. When it was close he offered it some food and it took it from his hand as these next shots show. Looks like a youngish fox but in good condition. The area is a major hunting ground close to the home of the director of the largest Swedish hunting organisation so it's difficult to believe it's tame but it didn't show any fear so who knows! Interesting pics I think. Edited September 16, 2008 by Highlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I just couldnt shoot one that came that close . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Id be all fingers and thumbs with the cartrigdes trying load up ! lol and then I would propbobly miss with the excitement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well you don't have to shoot EVERYTHING that comes into your space IMO the mark of a true sporting hunter is love of the country and all that's in it!

gixer1 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I totally agree with Highlander....I have a conscience about shooting the young'uns...especially when they come this close...too much like dogs! I think the foxing is a required job but that doesn't mean i enjoy killing them and it's the same with Roe for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I also agree with you, that was just a failed attempt at some light humor my appologies. We regularly have fox in our garden and feild and to date iv never shot one . would only do it as pest control on a farm or on a shoot !

jamie g Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 that fox looks in pretty good nick but its yong so dont no the danger that much. also if a fox is hungry he will take a chance to eat. i live on a housing estate yet at the top of my road we have a couple of acres of gorse. there has allways been foxes up there ever since i was a kid i no that for sure and more then likely longer. ive seen them in the day time in our street one is a manky sod but must be staving as he was talking a risk. my mum said she has even seen him down the road by the local shops in daylight hours !!!! and once afternoon i came home and he was lay in my front garden behind my car under a flower box the cheeky sod., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ2 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not sure if these pictures post properly. Here's hoping. This young vixen came in to about 2 metres of my son. We were having a bar-bee, and spotted her about forty metres away. We literally just squeeked through our lips, no mechanical aids, and she trotted straight up. No gun with us, so after a couple of minutes she just ambled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
