neil cooney 10,416 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 In Ireland ,North and South, it is perfectly legal to kill a fox using hounds or a firearm. Snareing and trapping are also legal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thepriest 0 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Is it legal in the UK to despatch a fox with a priest,for example if it was still alive in a snare? Not sure on the law now, But in the old days when i was a keeper. Drag poles were very popular when snaring and most foxes were still alive when you found them. Depending on he condition of the pelt i use to make a dicision whether to give them a barrel or give them a good clout with a priest or claw hammer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
