letting foxes go?


Recommended Posts

hi huys. i was just watching a dvd (fox digging vol 1) and the guys on that were digging out the fox and then letting it go? there wasnt a dog coursing it or anything, they would just stand back from the entrance and let it bolt or grab the fox out/or untangle it from the net and let it run. i dont understand why they would do that? ive only ever dug out one fox and it was bloody hard work so i cant see the fun in digging all that way and then releasing it. just looking for someone with a bit of knowledge as to why they do that.

 

also they were catching the fox and taking it back and putting it in a cage. if you know why that is can you let me know, ive got a pretty good idea but if you cant post it on here pm me.

 

you dont know if you dont ask ;)

thats kind of put it into perspective now. i thought the sport was the fox but what your saying is the sport is watching your dogs work and getting the pleasure out of that and letting the fox go to dig another day

the ONLY fox i have ever dug out was shot but in that video they were just grabbing them by the scruff of the neck and dragging them out. or just standing back from the hole and letting it bolt. must of been a dead end or something.
