How many foxes?

[dytkos 17,952]

Drove around the Moor on a recce for a couple of hours last night with a mate who farms there. Picked up 11 foxes in the beam.

Two lots of two and the rest on their own. Should have decent sport when the conditions are right.

I seem to be finding quite a lot this year (for my area anyway)..Just got back from a couple of hours out and taken my sixth fox of the year, all being well a pic up tomorow..small vixen taken at about 160/170 yards with the .223.

 

Cheers

I PERSONALLY THINK DUE TO THE REALLY WET SUMMER/AUTUMN A LOT OF CUBS AND ADULT FOXES ESCAPED THE CULL.

 

MY RECORDS SHOW THAT I SHOT 37 CUBS IN 2006 AND ONLY 21 IN 2007 MY COUNT WAS DOWN IN 2007 BY ABOUT A THIRD[DOGS VIXENS CUBS] TO NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS A LOT OF MY LAND.I AM CERTAIN THAT IN 2008 WE WILL SEE ALOT MORE CUBS AS WELL AS ADULTS.ON OUR SHOOT LAST THURS NIGHT ME AND MY MATE SAW 7 FOXES IN2 HOURS THIS TIME OF YEAR WE WILL SEE 2-3 ON THE SAME LAND,WE KEEP WELL UP ON TOP OF THEM BECAUSE WE RUN OUR OWN SHOOT.

I EXPECT YOU TERRIER BOYS WILL BE REALLY BUSY!

AS FOR CUBS WELL SEE SOME NOW IF WE LOOK IN THE RIGHT PLACES.IM OFF TUES NIGHT WITH A KEEPER MATE OF MINE TO HIS SHOOT HE THINKS HES GOT CUBS NOW,IV STOCKED UP ON POWDER AND BULLETTS FOR THE FUN TO COME.

LET US KNOW OF YOUR VIEWS ON THIS SUBJECT.

No "real" foxhunting by hounds in our area since the ban means that the cubs don't disperse as in past years so we find several together more than we would have in past seasons.
