has anyone fed fox to their dogs?

[martin 332]

I'm curious if anyone has either done it or thought about doing it.After all we do just sling them in a hedge now,as the pelts aren't worth anything.

I fed fox to ferrets once, a jill and her kits, they ate the whole carcase skinned, in about two weeks

Think i've read in the past that Bert Gripton fed his dogs quite regular on fox, as this would help a dog underground if it became trapped. Before locators I think this practice would have made good sense.

If it was trapped it would have no food, so once the dog had killed the fox it could eat it

I did taxidermy years ago, and when I was stripping the flesh off fox skulls doing the masks, I threw this raw to my dogs, most of my lurchers wouldnt eat it, but my deerhounds always ate it..Aonther time a deerhound bitch pulled the puddings out of a fox it had killed and was eating them..took some getting away from it

I used to regularly feed foxes to the ferrets never thought of the dogs though. Dont think I could be a**ed skinning the f**ker. The ferrets always did well on them. Only fed them in the winter though as they go off pretty quick in the summer.

I'll stick to my current canine diet You'd have to be pretty busy to supply your dogs on fox meat regularly

Of course,I was paraphrasing Ricky.

I didn't mean an exclusive diet,just as and when the carcases come up,but,as I said I was just curious.

Just coming back to Highlander there; My old mate, Chris H. brought me a fox once and asked for its back legs back ~ yeppers, I wanted the mask for taxidermy. He said He fed his ferrets on that shit!

 

Now, while I must admit I can't really think of anything intrinsicaly wrong with such flesh; I do seem to remember tight lippedly tossing my own ferrets a lump of fox later. And I also recall them looking at me as much as to say; " What are you? Some kind of c***?! "

 

Weird that. How some ferrets will eat fox flesh and others would likely sooner starve to death. I can't see many right thinking people starving their working stock till it'll eat shit just to survive. Must be some 'quality' in the fox flesh then?

 

Damned if I know. Smell just puts me off :sick: Maybe my ferrets felt the same way? 'Aquired taste'???
