Daylight foxes.

Since they have cut most of the cereal crops around here, I am seeing a lot more foxes in the daytime.

 

I mention it because I haven,t noticed quite so many in other years.

 

There are strong rumours that foxes are being trapped in London and brought out in to the Kent countryside and released.

 

Local lampers are seeing groups of three and four together on the stubbles.

I have seen two together before , but not small groups.

 

Any comments ?

Do you shoot fox's with rifle or shotgun?

My uncle use's a 10 Bore with a turky choke and some really heavy shot. What shot size are you lot using on old foxy

BB .1 stuff like that and do you shoot him on the move.

I have neaver seen a fox shot with a shotgun is it as clean as a rifle?

If so do you think I could give my 20 Bore a try or do I have to pinch dads 12.

 

So Many questions      :)

I use a 12bore shotgun with Maximum 4s when deliberately going to shoot foxes.

I have shot quite a lot using standard pigeon loads.

 

Its just a question of knowing the range limitations of your ammunition.

Most of the foxes I have shot are running and I have had no problem getting clean kills.

 

Most foxes aren,t as big as you think. Its not a lion you are trying to shoot.

My wife and I travelled up to London by train yesterday to see the musical "Chicago", it was great.

 

However, the reason for this post is, that all the while we were in the countryside I didn,t see any foxes.

As soon as we were past Dartford, through Lewisham, right to London Bridge, I spent the whole time showing my wife foxes on the railway embankment.

We counted 12, in broad daylight. :0
