Guest JohnGalway Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I was out lamping one night earlier this year and I spied a pair of eyes well above me on my own land. I'd lost 2 lambs already. I was out of range to take a shot (shotgun) so decided to put the sneak on her. Crossed over some very soggy ground without so much as a squelch! Unfortunately she dissappeared behind a little hill near a stone boundary wall topped by a fence. There was another fence between myself and the fox, so she was heading into a corner. When I got over the fence she had vanished, she couldn't have gone the way she came in so I had a quick look around and discovered they're using a drain which runs under the stone wall. Not much point in losing more sleep so I snared it the next day and to date I've caught two vixens. I check my snares twice daily and both foxes were alive and unhurt when I found them, although rather PO'd with their situation. Popped home for the gun and BB's and that as they say was that!
