pernod 466 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi mate, get down to your local library and try to get a copy of Running with the fox by David Macdonald. This guy done a lot of research on the red fox. I read it a good few years ago, and it was by far the best book i have read about foxes. Cheers Pernod 5 Quote Link to post

Cheers Pernod I put the same reply but it got lost in the ether, if i remember right he dug plenty with a local terrierman and put tracking collars on them to study them up close and natural. www.terrierman.com/macdonald.htm Edited January 12, 2012 by busterdog Quote Link to post
Rhodey 96 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 fook sake, so none a you terriermen actually know anything about the quarry you hunt What would you like to know ?, the biggest litter i've personaly had was eleven, there's one factoid for you. have you ever seen them in more than 2's above ground?? what is the normal, sized litter?? how long do they actually stay with there parents after they born?? anybody ever examined a fox's stomach content?? i have been on nearly every site i can find, showing him pics an reading out some facts for him, but even as im reading it i know a lot of it is shite, what chance have our kids got if everything wrote about animals is written by blinkered folk I shot one (did I swear in the terrier section lol) last year by a composting place that has a lot of fruit in and his stomache was full of grapes and hazel catkins.
