langouroux 14 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 ive seen them hung on fences y is this ? Absolutely no reason, other than some machismo trophy..... Serves no purpose.... Personally I bury every shot fox........... (its a requirement of the land I shoot, which is subject to public access...) actually there is an old wives tail saying that if you hang a fox on a fence then other foxes will detered by it.....its bullsh*t of course! but it isn't a machismo trphy thing as far am i am aware!?

Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I imagine it is a tradition. People controling pests would have put them somewhere obvious so the farmer can see you have been doing something useful. 1 Quote Link to post

I have heard the very same thing being done to corvid and seagull carcasses as well to keep them from crops but don't know how true it is that it works on them either. cheers Callum Quote Link to post
