Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Fox control at this time of year for either lamb or bird protection is the most effective period .Kill a fox any other time its for sport and will be replaced straight away ,kill a fox now and the territorial boundary it had set up will last quite some time .Remove a vixen and youve spared a whole load of killng .Those that know will be doing it ,those that dig for sport will have have hung up the graft simple .To say that control should have been done in the winter and no probs now is to use the moral high ground but reality is very different.No one likes doing cubs but no one likes losing permission either. 5 Quote Link to post

FAIR enough its just something that i dont do. I hunt foxes for terrierwork and ive been asked to do fox control in the past which consists of killing foxes out of season its just not for me.

lucky 578 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Cub killing is much easier for some because the weathers a lot better and they can still hunt in there track suit & trainers. 3 Quote Link to post

CBdogsA1 420 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Irishman, if you were in the area I live at lambing time and the shepherds hit you round the ear with every lamb killed by a fox you would be a very sore man. I've been to holes the terrier couldn't get in for carcasses, watched a pair of foxes torment and distract a ewe until one of them killed her twins and witnessed one chewing the head of a lamb while being born. Thank god they don't kill many pheasants belter. 1 Quote Link to post
Irishman 117 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Dont no about you but were i live foxes live mainly on small mammals and not waisting their time running after pheasants. I think every fox in every area is different just giving my opinion like everyone else Quote Link to post

fox buster 118 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Far to many idiots out with dogs and rifles still killing foxes at this time of year just for something to do. I hate the call from any keepers or farmers to sort cubs but i have to do it if asked an agree in some circumstances they need sorting especially for the lambs but for me its the idiots that go out just for sake of it killing breeding stock which is next seasons sport that i havent got a good word to say about, just wankers!! 2 Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 If a fox or a vixon with cubs is doing damage then its a job that has to be done,no one that works terriers like doing it but thats the way it is,BUT is there really any need to plaster it all over thl,its this that will finish terrier work in the end,go about your buisness and keep it to yourself. 6 Quote Link to post
