East coast 2 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Started new job as head keeper in june, and up till end of july was at 11 foxes, then holy crap now up to 37, every night out with lamp shoot 2 -3 foxes but see 8 or 9 and same every night out, most saw in 1 night was 13 and that was just in 8 stubble parks. Anyone else had a influx off foxes?? Quote Link to post

sako 23 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Numbers are down around here, only three sets of cubs congregating on a fair few acres and theres not many of them left either . Did manage to hit good numbers earlier in the year though when they were pairing up right through until the lambs were about. Seems to have done the job on them nicely.East coast, If you've got that many about and your seeing them with the lamp and not shooting them you need to get some traps out over the winter for the 'educated' lamp shy ones. I have great success with the traps and also use a lamp and nv for the 'sharper' ones but the traps are working 24hrs and positioned correctly are worth their weight in gold . Quote Link to post
