    I couldn't agree more with Matt's comments. Section 4 of The Animal Welfare Act 2006 covers "unnecessary Suffering". This would apply to the fox in YOUR cage as the fox would be deemed under your control and responsibility. I would dispatch on-site under the cover of a taurpaline to prevent on-lookers using either a moderated .22 rimfire or moderated .410 depending on your initial risk assessment. Transporting to 'another' site to dispatch shouldn't be considered with regards to animal welfare and disease management. The use of a non-FAC air rifle to dispatch a fox in a tra

    I have started to monitor the areas that I am working in with motion sensor camera's. One of the reasons is due to 'urban badger's' moving into towns & cities. Whilst I pre-bait; I can monitor any activity. Link below for footage of different clips. http://www.facebook....425371117528263

    I have cleaned my Parker Hale with solvent to get as much grime off it. I still think is is noisy (using Winchester Subs). May go back to the SAK. I do like the Parker Hale. Any tips on reducing the noise. My current rife is a .22lr CZ synthetic S/S with a carbine barrel.

    On Sunday, the London fox did a round trip of around miles+. That was roughly worked out on the AA Route Planner from Stoke Newington to Stanford Le Hope so it would be further cross-country. I take it the fox didn't stow away on the back of a lorry up the A13.

    The website is amazing. Take a look at the regularly updated maps and satellite images of the foxes locations. It gives you a good idea of there movement patterns, most active time and ground covered depending on there age/health/sex etc. I would of preferred it they had just called them specimen A, B, C etc rather than giving them fluffy names to pull the public's heart strings. By giving them names starts to make it a bit un-balanced.

    Does anyone have an automatic Pathfinder? Every so often my Pathfinder goes into 'limp mode'. Usually straight after giving it a bit of throttle. I have been told that it may be the Fuel Pressure Switch and other things. Has anyone else experienced the same? The only way to reset it is to pull over, switch of the engine and re-start. It's not so bad when it happens on a normal road but I am not looking forward to the day it happens on the M1 or M25.

    "Wild in the City" starts on Monday the 30th of April 2012 at 8PM. Should be an interesting watch with a can of beer.

    I thought you all may be interested in a new TV programme being brought to our screens by Channel 4. Part of the project carried out by a leading University under licence of Natural England is to trap urban foxes and fit GPS collars in order to track there movement. The technology is so high-tech; when they have finished the tracking phase the technicians simply press a few keys on a laptop and the collars drop off for collection. The link is below. I have been tracking the London fox and have been surprised how far it travelled on Sunday !! http://foxes.channel...540658249

    Good old Countryfile

    I noticed them on ebay last night. You beat me to asking the very same question !
  13. Urban Fox Control London
    No, No & No. Hope that's helped in your "Survey" for your Animal Management Course.

    LANTRA awards carry out Fox Control courses which are aimed towards full bore centre fire rifle shooting. The courses are held over a few days which include biology, choice of firearm, night shooting, range work, basic ballistics etc. The courses are usually held at Agricultural Colleges or at private ranges upand down the country. Killgerm / SX Environmental only do Air Rifle training (12ft/lb max) rather than rimfire or centre fire. You could always contact BASC and do your DSC1 or 2

    Simple, Speak to your local Police FEO and ask for a Firearms Certificate. If you have a reasonable need and can demonstrate that you need it, what's the problem?

    Lesson learn't. Thanks

    This fox has been hand-fed from birth in an urban environment only to be 'trapped' when it has become a nuisance and dumped by a pest control company without a FAC/SGC. Unfortunately, money's money to these 'rogue' companies and the client is usually assured that the fox will be taken back to the countryside. Pulling on the heart string's is a normal tactic, rather than explaining that the most humane thing to do is simply put it to sleep. Shame CCTV's can't catch them dumping foxes so that they can be done under The Animal Welfare Act 2006 for cruelty & The Environmental Protectio

    I have switched from my old conventional 'springer' rifle to pre-charged. Is it safe to use lightly lubricated pellets with a pre-charged air rifle or is there a potential risk of combustion with the high sudden pressure of air? No daft answers on 'lubricants' please
  19. Urban Fox Control London
    I use my 10/22 daily with Eley Subs. I love it and wouldn't change it
  20. Urban Fox Control London
    Thank's for that. I have filled it up to about 190 and will keep topping it up as and when I use it. It's so quiet with the weihrauch moderator.
  21. Urban Fox Control London
    All done !! Human error as usual..... I went back to the shop this morning. The adaptor that fits on the air hose needs to be screwed right in as tight as possible with a pair of spanners to ensure it all crimps together. Now this is done, I am looking forward to zeroing it in and next feral pigeon treatment. Thanks to The Air Gun Store, Forest Road, Loughton, Essex and everyone that made suggestions.
  22. Urban Fox Control London
    Thanks. The air resevior is empty. The instructions say cock the rifle to prevent air leaking. I have made sure the all lines and fixtures are tight to no avail. There is no pressure resistance or build-up at all? Going to take it back this morning. Haven't even shot a pellet out of it yet. Thanks for the link with regards to the hand pumps.
  23. Urban Fox Control London
    I have settled for a BSA Ultra Multi Shot .22 calibre to be used on feral pigeon control contracts. . What sold it to me was how quiet it was with a Weihrauch sound moderator, ease to load/cock and weight. I have gone for the hand pump for the time being. It is currently being a total pig and I haven't even re-charged it yet. The air is simply blowing back escaping from the hose. It must be set-up to be charged by a suba bottle. No allen key was supplied to remove the air restrictor valve inside the adaptor as was ment to be which I presume is why I will not charge. Watch

    Link on 1st thread though it has been cut right at the end when the comment was made. That's censorship for you.

    I was totally disgusted with the anti-fox hunting gentleman interviewed on the BBC News (Boxing Day morning) along side the Countryside Alliance representative. The anti-fox hunting gentleman said that "People who abuse animal's go on to abuse humans" ?????? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16331831 I am surprised nobody has commented on this yet? Footage has been censored at the end of interview.
