I must admit none of the 3 times the fox had me, I squealed, although I am a woman. 2 times I was alone catching it for myself and with only the dogs and there was no use in making noise. The last time was on a pig drive hunt, I had my mate out there, who pointed the fox in the first place with his dog on top, I had stabbed the fox through the heart in a wood pile since my dog had retrieved it into my reach; 2 dogs were on it then, and I thought it was dead, still it bit me, and I said, auch, would you break the fox off me, (because the dead fox was still attached to my hand and 2 or 3 dogs were ragging and shaking the carcass in the opposite direction, and that hurt) but still, some things in life are more embarrassing and painful, or I have the same adrenalin as my dogs in action.

I still prefer being bitten by a fox, rather than going to the dentist.

got bitten on the forearm while trying to take a fox out of the net it was nice and relaxed then just decided to throw a wobbler and got me. my mate was laughing his head off. i wouldnt mind but i had bolted and released the very same fox a few weeks before from the same earth. thats gratitude for you eh. (i knew it was the same fox from a distinct scar across its muzzle).

If you never come near, or handle a live fox, you will not get bitten. Most people here only shoot them.

They are afraid of them and stay at a distance. Because of the dangerous fox tapeworm most people here don't even pick up a dead fox without gloves.

I know many fox diggers who don't know how to handle live foxes and will avoid it, or use tongs or any other tool to stay separated from the quarry. I think if you work to and with foxes, (or badgers) you must be able to handle them, too. And so it goes for wild boar.

When you dig, sometimes you must handle a live fox, for exemple, to separate fox from dog before the fox can be shot. We do open up on the dog's collar and then try to barricade between dog and quarry with a spade or so, but often when we open, dog and fox are in contact, or there is more than one fox in different places there and the nearest fox tries to escape and bites the dog, or people when they're in the way.

I had to catch a live fox once for a research program, the fox had to be collared with a radio signal collar.

So we netted a diggable earth and I put in an old, experienced, toothless terrier so the fox would bolt whole. It bolted in the net so I ran over and took net and fox and the research man demanded to take it over immediately and I gave it to him, saying the fox was angry after the confrontation with the terrier and would bite. But he didn't take heed and was bitten in the hand badly. After that he sat down on every live fox with his body weight, clamping the fox's neck down between and beneath his knees so it almost got crushed.

By the way, I never knew rabbits bit people? Rabid rabbit? Better be careful for that too in the future.
