GOBSHITE 107 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Probably more about this year due to the fields being so wet with all the rain, 4*4's can't get on to shoot them all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGLURKS 874 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Over the last 10 years it has went up and down not the changing weather but from rabbit numbers if we have high rabbit numbers one year we have less foxes but changes too the next year high foxes less rabbits only thing me and some friends find different is if the weather is not as cold as normal is that we will find cubs sizes are very varied going from are numbers we can take 120 one year too 60 the next just are 2 cents Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoop8650 0 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 My mate stays in a cottage out in the hills and has shot 7 tame foxes in his garden he thinks they have been trapped in towns as problem foxes and released in the country they have no fear of humans Quote Link to post Share on other sites
