hunt and fish 35 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Kill all, how can we justify hunting the animal as a method of control if we dont dispatch it. Also this idea of letting the vixen run and despatch the dog it takes a pair to rear a litter of cubs in the early stages. I dont think you should hunt a fox unless you are going to kill it. Well mate theres not much fox local around me so killing a vixen im killing say 5 that i can have a go at the start of season. 2 Quote Link to post

antsa 40 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 dispatch 100% I hunt to control numbers and disease reduction 1 Quote Link to post
jetro 5,349 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) i feel that if a fox has given a good account of its self, in good condition and not cause a problem it should be let run for another day. anything that is small, weak , sick or injured should be humanly dispatched. i live in sheep rearing country so a lot of the foxes are dispatched, which is a shame really. atb,j.
