i read something once about foxes before the ban that used to play games with fox-hunts teaseing the hounds but still crafty enough to stay out of reach, dont know how true that is but maybe the fox was playing the same game with you?

 

 

i think it was playing games with me an the dog .....

[pongopalmer 19]

It could be if your dog is a bitch it's about to come into season ,although it's a myth about foxes mating with dogs it may have found some attraction .

We've often been followed by young foxes (big cubs in the autumn) when we first start lamping: partly curiousity and partly hunger I guess. One night my lurcher had caught a rabbit in a pile of cow muck so I decided to leave it on the field (the rabbit that is), and I backed off about 50 yards and watched this young fox come right in, take the rabbit and gallop off: no sense in killing them when they're still learning how to live, and pre ban there was no sport in that sort of killing so let them grow up a bit. When I say big cubs, they look full grown to most people, but if you know foxes you can see that they are still youngsters.

When out lamping I have seen the following about. Always seem to be a few hundred yards behind. But I guess they are always ahead in there heads. Animal instinct, if you can see what your enemies up too, then they can't surprise and attack you. Same idea as wilderbeast letting lions around them but never close enough. So they always know where the lion is. More likely a cub though as a fully grown wouldn't risk it.
