Ps: bet he aint ive saw foxes get killed with saluk crosses collie crosses beddie crosses bull crosses ,i had a big 3 eights five eights out of a tor of dartmoor half and half backto a pure greyhound sid would kill fox roe hare rabbit on any giving night , and i saw adeerhound cross which would killl afox and retreive it , or any othe qaurry etc , i think the higher percentage of terreir blood of the right sorts makes a fox killing lurcher ,bulll ,aredale ,wheaton, deerhoundy dogs usaly take to fox easy theirs no best cross but at the mo

localy moonlight nights and frost are not ideal being out a walk many a times just for the exersise and if i can get close enough to pick the diner up ill have it or the dogs ,localy its not to clever best nights if i ve had to go on frosty nights have been pasture were the rabbs just take a second longer to move but on bowling green winter wheat a waste of time ,and for the usaul quarry, i pick the right nights and come back with the freezer topped up ,ive caught several in the moonlight but sometimes a feild away or more , as the dogs see well and hardly need the lamp etc , ive had some fun
