Ellis Blain 29 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 The land owner of my permission wer I shoot today took me to a few fox earths.. He asked could I clear them out as he will be building on the ground the earths are on in the next few weeks.. As I don't have terriers and the earth looks like it runs straight under a concrete public road it got me wondering if it's possible to make a fox bolt? Rather than it getting burried alive haha??

Ellis Blain 29 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 What do u mean mate? Let a dog have a sniff at the earth to make it bolt? I dont think it's safe to let a dog go down as it looks like the earth runs straight under the big concrete road.. Quote Link to post
Ellis Blain 29 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yeah just 2 big earths about 5ft apart Quote Link to post

Blainy88 25 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 The problem is, the aformentioned den leads under a road, and if the terrier bays the fox into a stop end he wont be able to dig, because of the road. So he was asking if there is an alternative method so as not to have to pick axe the road if the dog needs digging to. Quote Link to post
LIKKIY LIKKIY LA LA 9 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 How do you know it goes under the road? try and either live trap, or using a terrier that is good at bolting. Quote Link to post
MUDD 374 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) If the landowners building a house very close to this, I'd say the chances are any Charlie that's using the earth, will mosie on due to this. especially when theres machinery in digging footings out and whatever more to follow. The animals of farthing wood spring to mind lmao. Atb Edited March 4, 2012 by MUDD 1 Quote Link to post
