Never actually shot a fox in my life mate. And only on the very rare occasion had a problem with a vixen and cubs with the lambs. And if you’re clever you can get them gone without killing them. Like I said, hammer them till before they breed and as soon as we start seeing bellied up vixens, give it a rest till august. Anything you see then is old enough to stand on its own two feet. I think it’s called countryside management. Most of these lads with guns don’t even get out the truck so can’t get to a lot of them in winter. We dig, bush, lamp, etc etc.
