wag 13 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 This is the reason every shooter should have a dog to retrive the fox instead of blowing its leg off with a crap shot and it getting away down the dyke or bush whatever! i know most use a dog when shooting but if you dont then bare in mind if you done a crap shot like so the dog can always fininsh it off,and sent the fox if it makes any cover. who is to say that the foxes leg was blown off as you put it , the fox could have been born like that , or it could of got caught in a combine when harvesting , i have seen it happen but it could have happend a number of different ways ... ...

hiluxmk3 1 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Its great how all the Fox Shooters come out the woodwork Aug/Sept time with there pictures, so easy to shoot cubs, lets get the real Foxshooters on here to show a few pics of winter foxes... Iwill start 1st just a couple to get going with hiluxmk3 Now i can upload from my mobile. Some keith parry and my self shot. Note one of the photos the fox has only half a back leg. Nice foxes mate... injured foxes missing legs is more common than i thought, i have shot a few in the years that i have been shooting them, but i got 2 about a month apart, both were healed and foxes were in very good condition. thanks for posting your pictures for us all to see , keep up the good work hiluxmk3 This is the reason every shooter should have a dog to retrive the fox instead of blowing its leg off with a crap shot and it getting away down the dyke or bush whatever! i know most use a dog when shooting but if you dont then bare in mind if you done a crap shot like so the dog can always fininsh it off,and sent the fox if it makes any cover. Are you for real if either of the 2 Foxes i shot with limbs missing had these injuries done due to a poor shot by a previous shooter ,DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD STAND AGAIN FOR A LAMP...no feckin chance.... YOU TRY SHOOTING A FOX THAT HAS BEEN LAMPED AND SHOT AT BEFORE, DONT BLINK OR OR YOU WILL MISS ITS QUICK DEPARTURE. these type of injuries are more common than you think its a big bad world out there, i only stated i havent shot a lot like this in my 35 years of shooting Foxes but as the post replys indicate its not as uncommon as i thought for shooters to come across these types of injuries on Foxes.
