Lab 10,979 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 firing shots is a good way to disturb a fox,but it dont move the ones that are to ground,and it dont tell how many have went back the way,as they wont always come out without the pressure of dogs chasing them,atb As long as your standing guns are downwind of the foxes coming through then your fine. The ones that are too ground are not the concern on they days......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxes around shoots alot,are wary of gunfire,but not to worried about it if not close.Foxes have been known to wait for a shot,then come in and Take a bird If you get a few with shot going off ! treble that with Hounds i would imagine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interested thats the 1s, collars are never realy used they just have them on just incase , if anyone sees the hounds up to no good they just shout on the radios and the button gets pressed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
