foxes on the increase

[Macky 227]

over 10 years ago ,i went to a certain place were foxes were abundant me and my mates were regulary taking over 30 foxes with lurchers a week ,as we had hammered the place over a number of years ,it is a few mile away from a city so we decided to leave it ,i recently went back on thursday and called more foxes than i had seen than the first time i had gone there ,as anybody else noticed the change since the stupid b*****ds had banned it .

Me an a few hunting friends were haveing a convo about this the other day. The rabbit number have dropped right off but there seems to be a big increase in the number of fox and badger around lately.

Also alot of magpies about the last couple of years???

[BrianSteven72 369]

plenty of foxes a bout here not more than usual tho there has always been loads , plenty roe and magpies more than ive ever seen in my lifetime , but a lot less rabbits and hares , was speaking to the local head keeper at the start of the season and he said they dont shoot the hares and havent for a few years just not enough about !

Macky, from what i've seen mate, I recon certain places have become 'hot spots' with plenty there, not getting bothered too much since the ban. Other specks that always had a few about now seem dead. Maybe they are now being hammered by those local to the area, or the fox numbers did rise after the ban and the farmers have taken action and the shooting boys came in.
