Guest busterdog Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Had five in a drain behind the local slaughter house, they used to come up through water so you had time to tap them on the nut "old days" the first came out BANG got it chucked it to a lurcher pup when my cousin shouts "the dogs still baying", expert that i am i said not to worry as the dogs just frustrated as he wont have the bollocks to swim up through the water, so i carry on worrying the carcass for the lurcher pup when out pops "one by one" four more foxes, all full grown in good winter coats, needless to say i was gutted and the lurcher did nowt !!! . Still a good day and a good memory. Quote Link to post

Guest ROUGH COATED Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 A friend of mine had 6 adult fox'es in a 3 hole earth on a railway bank in the early 90s , Dug with RUSSELL'S Quote Link to post
dfee 1 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 had 4 out of the same earth regularly,they was always released so it was more than likely the same foxes,i knew a couple were the same has they had scars,you could leave it a fortnight and go back and they would be back in,the earth was next to a landfill site,i eventually lost a dog in the earth after the collar packed up we dug the earth everywhere but never found the dog and the earth never held since just rabbits now.you would get 1 dig as i think there was only 1 stopend and the rest would bolt.had a few 3's aswell but its usually just the 1 or 2.
