[gonetoearth 5,144]

 

The placing ofArtificial earths is an art you need. To reccy the wood through the seasons a site thats well hidden in summer months may not be in winter , it may be proun to flood in heavey rain, as old bodmin says u prevailing wind directions . Charlie uses borans earths burrows that other fox have used for decades Some as lay ups some to breed the choise of site is every thing or all the work is a waste of time , Field craft and knowing the habits of reynard !!!!!!

Cant beat a dig to rabbits

[MOLE265 792]

Foxes use all sort of places as earths as long as it's dry we used to work a concrete floor earth near the Coatbridge flyover just outside Glasgow and yes we dug it more than once repaired it with tin sheets brick and soil and we worked foxes from this earth ever season. When I have constructed artificial earth I have always put in quite a few 90 degree angles to stop the wind howling through. Just keep in mind bone dry and free from drafts and the foxes will use it.

Won't use this year.make them long with 2 beds and horse shoe shape if possible.put block in the bed so a dog has to go round it to go through,this also helps with the wind.dig the entrances down so wind won't be a problem,cement all joints to stop rabbits ruining them.make bed a 3ft slab then a block and a brick high then slab on top,plenty plastic bags as well to stop damp,1/4 fill tubes with soil and you never know the might get used depends how cautious the foxes are.

don't make , no odds digging the ends in , if you get it wrong it just acts like a vortex and pulls the draught down through.......prefer L shape with a covered chamber on the bend and a slab in the chamber with enough room too go round.....years ago we put one in behind a wall on bank , out of the wind, ( so we thought) ,....no joy and when clearing the end out one day,........couldn't believe the draft what was coming through........you would never of thought it.........lot of work too get it wrong.......
