I've not bolted one but last year my old hob kept going to one spot in a burrow my lurcher was marking keenly so after a while I decided to break through and caught a whiff of fox. My missus brought the terrier for me and the rest as they say is history .

I can read the lurcher now when he's marking fox so the ferrets won't be going in with one again.

Bolted a few stoats in the past, shellducks, rats and one cat who decided not to bolt but met its match in stumpy the three legged hob

Ive been ferreting for 20 years and have never bolted a fox...... but i do believe people do bolt them with their ferts. I have bolted mink, cats, rats, mice, stoats and the strangest thing of all a grass snake.... I was ferreting next to an old dung heap early one spring and i entered the fert in one hole and 2 seconds later out slithered this snake... I must admit it made me jump
