Elmer Fudd 2011 39 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Veedublee . The reason why a lot of us dig is too work our dogs, not to kill foxes. Working your dog and releasing a live healthy fox at the end of the dig is the perfect result for us. Its about working our dogs we only kill if we have too how do youse get it out the den once yous have dug down or out of the net without it having a go at you shot gun with 42 gran 1 Quote Link to post

Elmer Fudd 2011 39 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 if we let them go the game keeper would let us go and no more ferreting in the season shooting job over so if foxes move in then we move them out 1 Quote Link to post

Hepher 86 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) hi huys. i was just watching a dvd (fox digging vol 1) and the guys on that were digging out the fox and then letting it go? there wasnt a dog coursing it or anything, they would just stand back from the entrance and let it bolt or grab the fox out/or untangle it from the net and let it run. i dont understand why they would do that? ive only ever dug out one fox and it was bloody hard work so i cant see the fun in digging all that way and then releasing it. just looking for someone with a bit of knowledge as to why they do that. also they were catching the fox and taking it back and putting it in a cage. if you know why that is can you let me know, ive got a pretty good idea but if you cant post it on here pm me. you dont know if you dont ask THAT'S CALLED SPORT. DUNNO ABOUT THE CAGE STATEMENT??? Edited June 30, 2011 by Hepher Quote Link to post

I love coursing but the one thing I hate about it is killing hares! If I could let everyone go after it's caught i would. Quote Link to post
.terrier man. 193 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 If i rang the keeper up and said "im on that earth you askt me to check mate, just dug a dog fox but then let it go" he would go f*****g mad and get someone else in, and id end up loose my permission. 1 Quote Link to post

fat man 4,740 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I can't see the point in letting them go! The day I wanna let em go is the day I give up diggin! If thats your attitude to diging well then you should think about giving it up.There are times reasons when they have to be culled,but if you kill all you dig including pregnant vixon's at the end of the day your only killing your own sport.The lads with the rifle's and snares also poisin,not to mention the gun packs take care of enough foxs without us lads killing everything we dig. 2 Quote Link to post

events co-ordinator 353 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 In Scotland any fox that you have worked with a dog above or below ground must be shot at first safe opportunity using a Firearm or Shotgun or you can use a bird of prey :yes to let it go after digging with a terrier would be illegal.
