Rolfe 2 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Possibly trying to free itself from a snare? Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Could be anything really, possibly an RTA? Quote Link to post
No messin 2 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 No road for a mile or so, my thought was gin trap / snare, poor fecker must have been in serious pain though. Quote Link to post
cocker 2,655 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 might have gone under a car, have seen marks like that on ones dead at the side of roads, Quote Link to post
No messin 2 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I wouldnt rule out it being an RTA, an injured fox can travel a long way, the other thing is there is a railway line close by. Thinking about it, if it had been a snare then there would be a ring around the leg wouldnt their? Quote Link to post
stormrider8 59 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I tracked a wounded fox today, what do you think would cause this wound?? Snare. Looks like the skins come of clean as it broke free. Looks like a clean ring from the fur to me. Quote Link to post
