Shot right they usually stay put .Have had them run hard and end up in deep brambles though mate .They are hardy little things .

Agreed but Tony selecting a forward gear didn't help lol.Can't you get that vid up Matt?.

They Don't Half Grow Fast!
Squirrel_Basher replied to fox digger's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Unfortunately mate I've not any experience with that to comment on as like said I've never reared one. -
Why turn on me ,Foxdropper wannabee.I thought we were friends
-
Never owned a Landy mate .Had Hilux ,now L200 but fear anything would have ended up the same on that greasy slope .Driver error played a part mind lol.
-
Not being funny mate but what does that achieve ?

Ive got so many pics of dead cubs that im now afraid to put up
-
On right hand side of home page there should be an option to make your pics private depending on what device your on ie phone ,desk top ,lap top .Look for privacy settings mate .

You need to set your privacy on photobucket mate .Right clicking allows me into your albums .

My reply to you was toungue in cheek crosshairs .Im sceptical of things ive never seen before but unlike some im willing to learn .The piss take route is my way of furthering discussion to see the real you .In the book ,"running with the fox "he mentions the fact vixens can move in and share earths .Fox control can never being one thing or the other and must encompass all to reach an acceptable level whereby landowner are kept happy and the fox becomes wiser .What ive noticed in this fox control game is that those who play at it for sport shout loudest when control proper is carried out .Hunts

Dosnt look much but stuck he was . Then the big fella arrived and nearly never made it out either Bit of a rake over ,20 ton of seed and never know we been there .

Matt did get a wee bit stuck in his landy which im sure he can expand on lol

Last Sunday saw myself and Matt on an invite to a mates to try to get a few muntjac that will cause problems with the pheasant feeders soon .Matt dosnt get the opportunity to shoot this little deer much so i was anxious to get him one or two .Our host is a gent and offered to guide Matt round as i know this wooded are well .He took Matt towards a high seat where he has bagged a few himself whilst i went down the centre ride to check the wood edges .Just got to the bottem and glassed the field below and spotted a muntie doe grazing 10 m from cover ,a rare site in daylight .Phoned our host Ton

Polecat were called foul marts years past for good reason .Mink in a frenzy is the most powerful thing I've smelt .Not seen one for a year or two now.Terriers caught one in 4 inches of water last one ,just before a huge culvert going god knows where .Don't forget to add mate that of course it was an accidental catch .

Ffs lads you nearly had me on the dog fox bit but two litters one hole ,I ain't having that . I can honestly say I've watched many earths ,some to shoot them some to watch and even though I've seen and shot other adults in the vicinity of the earth ,I've never once seen evidence of any other but the vixen bring back food .I've seen two vixens fighting like hell in a gulley one evening both obviously suckling,very noisy and oblivious to us stood watching and I've seen the vixen chase other adults nearby even when cubs are half grown .You do learn from this site and I've learnt from this threa

Think you'll find that was the vixen .Dog only vocal in the rut that I do know for certain .
-
Lol that's the same fox ,different angle ,same foliage .Not to be pedantic of course .Have to do better than that .
-
I guess its two different worlds .Down here its sufficient to get the vic as the killing will stop on a large scale as no vic equals a litter to deal with .Im surprised though that with your thermal kit any foxes are allowed to reside long enough to birth a litter ,its not like you had much ground to cover lol.
-
There you go then ,definate proof that hill foxes are better parents than our Southern foxes . Know what you are saying BUT how many of those waits resulted in a dog being shot ,not many ill wager .The vixen is the target for any keepers and any dog hanging about is a bonus .You cant tell me keepers wait up especially to get any dog fox .Regardless of whether the dog feeds a litter or not ,get the vixen and its game over ime or does the dog then pick up the feeding ,along with an aunt .I think a few have a case of tinted glasses on the subject but as always i wont force my opinion on anyo
