bigdaz 688 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Last half hour of light I walked the fields around my house, the area is called waterlands and its well named its a mixture of ponds, marshes and ditches, it rarely drys completely and certainly isn't now. Anyway, I was going to take my young goldie pup and my two weimaraners, but decided a bit of one on one with the pup was a better option. Walked around the big pond and was heading home and there's a broad ditch to cross which is a mud hole, gets up to it and out pops Mr Fox, looks down and here's a blackie ewe and lamb stuck fast. Clambers down, the bstard has been eating the back end of the lamb and the wee sods not quite dead, it obviously couldn't pull it out and was chewing its arse while the ewe lay beside it. Chapped the lamb, pulled the ewe out with great difficulty, and threw the lamb up beside it so that the ewe didn't go back in for it. Fcuk the legalities of a killing foxes with dogs, I'll say this and I don't give a feck who's reading this, if I'd taken my weimaraners I'd have had no hesitation in letting them knack the git, legal or not. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGLURKS 874 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I agree mate foxes will take any chance they can see it quite often round here also seen a badger one early morning once chasing sheep into a corner trying too attack the lambs weirdest thing I ever seen a old friend told me the sheep were too close too it's set but don't forget the fact if no one knows what u would of done then there none the wiser these days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astral 253 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Legalities aside that fox will need dealing with now. Once its cottoned on to taking lambs it will be on the look out for more in the future. Mention to the farmer what happened and if you have the means to deal with it for him, then maybe you can go back with some permissions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mintstick999 485 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm with you on this and the sooner people are educated to the fact that a fox is not a sweet little fluffy thing only to be seen on the front of a magazine the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reading your posts it's fair to say you consider yourself to be knowledgable where gundogs (or is it just labs) are concerned. A weimaraner is hardly a coursing machine, but, let me get this right, are you in your all seeing wisdom telling me a weimaraner isn't capable or fast enough to catch a fox?. How bloody fast do you think a fox can run?. Stick to what you know mate, and take it from me having owned weimaraners for nigh on twenty years I can tell you from experience they could and did take fox pre ban and now retrieve them no problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought he would have been more upset mate but I think with all the other shit and problems just now, poor lambing, lack of grass and the weather it's just one more problem.
