thursodog 353 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Hi folks. My perm has recently had a problem witha Vixen, dog and 2 younger fox's which have killed a load of the farmers chickens. I went out and quickly shot the vixen and one of the younger fox's with a squeaker and lamp but now the other 2 have become very wary and i cannot get them to come to my caller and they bolt at the lamp. Any ideas folks? Chris Edited October 3, 2018 by thursodog Quote Link to post

Any ideas folks? Chris Have you tried baiting them to a certain area to take a safe shot? But I suspect if they are lamp shy even if you get them taking the bait as soon as that lamp hits them they will be gone... Do you know someone local with NV who could help you deal with them without the need for a lamp... 1 Quote Link to post
thursodog 353 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thanks for the reply. We get a dead sheep from a local farm but even thats not working now. Yep i think its time to invest in an nv setup. Spoiled for choice and no idea whats the best unit to buy so will start reading up on the subject. C Quote Link to post

C Or wait till the next full moon and hope for a clear night! Do you have coloured filters for your lamp or a dimmer switch? To be honest I gave up on coloured filters years back (many still find them helpful), but I do find the dimmer switch particularly useful. I have torches, lamping kits and NV and they all get an outing, none is best, they just have different uses! As already mentioned, the fox can usually be trained quite quickly and being creatures of habit it doesn't usually take to long to get the better of them! 3 Quote Link to post
