Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Has anyone else noticed massively increased fox numbers over the last couple of seasons? Since the ban? Ive never gone out to specifically hunt for them, just taken them if they've cropped up. But this year im seeing 2 and 3 every time i go out, even just for a mooch in the daytime. Saw 4 last night behind my house in some woods as it was going dark, in the space of about 20 minutes. Cheers Gaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 They don't even wait till it's dark round here. Can easily see 6 or 8 on the streets in about 30 minutes when I walk the dog about 6 or 7p.m. One even pressed on my leg like a cat does while I was filling up with diesel at the garage. Literally could have booted it over another car. All on camera though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
