comanche 3,312 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Been hearing about this giant fox for the last day or so and had visualised something about the size of a labrador from what I'd been told . Now I've seen the picture and read the weight it's impressive but not the monster I'd hoped to see . The picture of it dangling from the ladder is taken from a crafty angle -I mean it looks huge -but mid 20 pounds isn't unheard of. It's still a biggy though. One was shot on a rabbit drive about 15-20 years ago at Knepp in Sussex. On my el-cheapo Little Samson fishing scales it hovered around 28lb. Being an anorak I've weighed a few out of interest and 12 -15 lb seemed far more usual. Burton in Carnivores of Europe mentions a Norwegian fox of 14.2 kilos and Vesey Fitzgerald along with several over 20lb notes one shot in 1956(quote"of which there was no doubt as to measurement and weight".)of 28lb 2oz.
