B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 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 Quote Link to post

dev 226 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Veedublee . The reason why a lot of us dig is too work our dogs, not to kill foxes. Working your dog and releasing a live healthy fox at the end of the dig is the perfect result for us. Its about working our dogs we only kill if we have too 7 Quote Link to post

Its about working our dogs we only kill if we have too 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 Quote Link to post

mudd dog 128 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 i let 3 go two seasons ago. 3 lucky foxs they were. no point in killing them all it's more about working your dogs not mass slaughter. well thats my opinion 3 Quote Link to post
