vld 62 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi All, With all the articles about this 34lb fox shot in 2009 what is the biggest fox that you have caught (pre ban) or shot? Urban or Rural? Mine was rural and 21lb which I thought was big until reading these articles. I should imagine that the urban fox is heavier as a rule due to the easy pickings and daft arses that feed them! Quote Link to post

Little fish 3 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Caught one years ago that had been ear tagged by the local university ,not a big fox though . Quote Link to post
vld 62 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Cheers for the responses - its always interesting to hear what others have seen. Don't normally weigh them either mate, but because its the biggest one I've ever caught, I took it up to the farmer, whose land it was on , we weighed it there. He was very happy farmer to say the least! Quote Link to post
