danny300 2,240 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 As close as you can get it, although you'll often get more than 1 fox in areas where they arnt used to being lamped especially this years cubs that havent got wise to the lamp yet. Best craic there is lamping foxes what dog have ye got? Ya got a cub last Friday, called it to 20 ft no bother. I want to get rid of a lot of foxes for a man who's starting lambing outside this year; that's why I got the dog. He's 1/4 pit 3/4 grey, serious lad but very unfit. you might need a lad with a terrier as well to help you as you wont get them all on the lamp. a farmer i know has seen a fox walking around his sheep already but he will be taking them in when there lambing I can take a loan of one of my buddies dogs, he's gone to Australia but his patterdale still stays on his old mans farm. once you know what your at bud if not get someone that knows what there at Quote Link to post

Then the dog died and I didn't get another one. I'm 23 now and just got this dog to keep me fit for the winter. Forgot to say I'm going out with the farmers niece too.
