Jimmer Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I dont't mean do they have snow ball fights, make snow men or sledging. Are foxes usually around when there is snow on the ground or do they stay in hiding for better weather? Just wondered if it was worth a wonder about? Any opinions much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Best time to be out no lamp needed so you have an advantage :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I watched a fox out playing in the snow the other day, it seemed to be really enjoying itself. :look: I would say it is worth having a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm convinced their more active with a good snow fall than normal! Most animals, cats and dogs included seem to alter their behaviour when it snows and foxes are no exception Get out there and give it a go :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 There was a fox in my garden Monday when it was snowing. Seemed to be just wandering around watching it all come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have you not shot it yet? maybe the same reason as you watching them play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 It is not alive any more, I saw him out in the field a couple of days ago so I went out yesterday night and there he was only 50 yards away and one shot from the Hornet dropped him straight away.

Any opinions much appreciated im no expert but i personaly belive when the snow first comes they might stay down if its a rough night, but they will soon be hungry and will after venture out as he would now be finding food for himself and her in doors (vixen) as you wont see much of her until the young exit there home.. i could be wrong its always worth a wonder or youll never get anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have a fox from the nearby allotments in my garden most nights .Can,t see the point of killing it as I live in the middle of a large village (Small town would be a better description ) .Different story on Farmland though Kind of enjoy watching him or her to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
