feeding cubs


Recommended Posts

i would say it depended on the individual situation

 

if cubs are near game birds or an area thats heavily populated i'd say bring on a pup or two and logically if the bit of land is lacking foxes then whats the harm in encouraging, theres been a few topics about breeding and releasing rabbits so why not in certain circumstances help the fox

 

however what my logic tells me to do then what i would do when forced into making that choice i'm not sure what i'd do if i'm honest probably feed them - though admittly not venison what a waste!!

 

with regards to respect your wildlife and quarry by zig zag wonderer damn right! the fox is so cleaver and can out smart many a dog, they have adapted to live in so many types of cover, from deserts to mountains to cities and forest, they is something to say about an animal without the use of modern technolagy that is able to do this, humans wouldn't last a week unless strictly trained yet they do it by instinct

 

good luck in everyone who is currently feeding cubs and enjoy hunting next season!!!

 

seriously you have NOT got a clue!..."if cubs are near game birds"...mature fox can be found 20 mile radius from where its whelped!...you are helping and encourage vermin...FACT!...f**k me what ever happened to pest controll

Stop bouncing up and down!!!

 

Lurcher Lass said something very important - "it depended on the individual situation".

 

What else needs to be said??????

 

If you're rearing birds chances are you'll kill them...if you like to watch hounds at work, you'll leave them be, and maybe give thm a bit of a hand.

 

We've all got the message - you're big and 'ard. Congratulations!!! :clapper:

Yes - I'm talking to you. I don't think I need to explain further...I have trees that want hugging.

bollox you do know your on a HUNTING forum dont you?

 

This forum is also for pest controllers and that is what I am. I deal with public health pests and wildlife management. In other words everything from rats, mice, fleas and bedbuges to squirrels, rabbits foxes and mink and everything in-between. I recently had to trap a fox underneath a customer's shed. I caught it and released it in a carefully chosen site where I thought it would survive but would cause little damage in the area. It was one of this year's cubs. Sadly the gamekeeper/hunter mentality can't think beyond "this species is a pest so it must be killed". As I said wildlife management is a balance which sometimes requires the use of a brain instead of a bullet. ;)

Im not refering to the feeding of cubs, id do it if i had a litter close, but some things said here are f*****g daft things to be sayng

 

"exterminate them"

 

"Trap them and let the dogs run them on a golf course"

 

f**k a duck. Sites full of f*****g cowboys and retards

 

 

dont tie me in with those other quotes........vermin should be exterminated...fact

 

and your one of the cowboys i mentioned

 

If foxes are in plague proportions where you are then kill away, killing for killing sake just because you can aint 'management' in any shape or form.

 

no offence my man but you are talking shit...if left un-checked a fox will breed and breed the offspring will move out from the area causing problems where ever they end up...they spread disease cause all manner of problems with those that keep livestock,pheasant shoots, poultry even sheep and pidgeons...they are vermin and need to be controlled we have all seen the damage they can do...suprises me some are willing to feed and encourage them...to me thats f****n daft!

 

No need to be preaching to me i aint no fool.

 

I know full well what damage foxes can do, i used to work on a 6,000 acre commercial pheasant and duck shoot for my sins, so have plenty of experieince in what foxes can and cant do. I would get rid of each fox i saw on my ground, yet on my own permission id let each fox go because they aint causing no grief.

All public health pests are killed, moles and rabbits are killed, squirrels are killed. Foxes if healthy and I decide that it is fair to release them will be released. As I say they are not vermin by default, they are indigenous wildlife. A fox under a shed is not the same as a fox in pheasant rearing wood.

 

So what is your trade AKA BRINDLE?

I think he's a dalek...he seems to have an unhealthy obsession with "extermination"...foxes in his part of the country are investing in a community tardis.

 

Zig Zag - you can be the doctor!!!!! :clapper:

 

Jeez...sometimes I frighten myself I'm so good.... ;)

why kill them? some people think hunting is all about killing anything they can get there hands on. just leave them unless they become a pest. no need to feed them though neither

once again what started out as an interesting read and a chance for everyone to kindly state your veiws but there is always one who reckons their too big for common sence and politness

 

as foxyjo kindly pointed out i said it depended on the situation rather then shoot everything that moves

 

with regards to wildlife management i wouldn't have you any where near my land for "pest control" as you seem to veiw this as pest destroy

 

when you wish to discuss any topic like a mature adult i will be prepared to listen, while however your the one speaking nosense i wont waste my time on you, by all means don't agree but put your veiws accross in a different way

the flea is INDIGENOUS... still a pest!...a fox under a shed could easily become a fox in a 'pheasent rearing wood' if you had your way

I respect what I hunt...i also understand it too...but reading this thread some obviously dont!

I am a painting and decorating contractor whatever relavence that has i dont know?....sounds like i have a better understanding of my trade than some do ;)

Ahhh-Haaaa!!!!! That's sorted it!! Sorry Aka Brindle, I thought we were discussing feeding cubs - you're talking about painting and decorating!

You're right pet - haven't a bloody clue!!! What the hell would we pest controllers/hunt servants know? And what right have we to an opinion???

 

SHUT UP EVERYONE!!! Aka's going to bore into your skull with his opinion and thoughts whilst papering the countryside in woodchip. I do hope you've brought your santising gel though - this rural place is hellish mucky, there's fleas and mud and all sorts...(and I think it's indigenous... :icon_redface: )
