Have a friend who wrote this in a letter to Lord Burns some time ago!
So has enforced himself a close season and why not!
'My records show I have, with .22 centerfire varmint rifles, personally killed more than 3,200 fox in just over 28 years. About 1980, having become so efficient at killing fox, I set myself a fox shooting season, only shooting them after the finish of harvesting cereal crops to mid-night 3l December.'
