toxo 160 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Purely out of curiosity, what does one do with a dead Fox? Is the pelt worth anything? can the dogs eat it? Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't do anything with mine really. Sometimes of I get a vixen in heat ill take her tail de bone it and use it on a peice of wire out in the field. It'll blow round and the scent will bring out horny dog foxes or rival vixens. Has worked a treat on a couple of occasions. Quote Link to post

charlie caller 3,654 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Back in the 80s a keeper I used to beat for was getting £15 a pelt, not bad money back then,I am sure there is still a market somewhere,but these days I have enough to do without skinning foxes, I believe fox is quite popular with Chinese people, but I would have to be very hungry indeed to tackle fox as a culinary delight Quote Link to post

I believe they ended up in Belgium. However one day the money went right down to practically nothing and it wasn't worth skinning them any more. Quote Link to post

steg 609 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Years ago I was walking to work with a brush in my inside pocket (lad at work wanted one for his six months old pup to rag about) anyway i passed a couple with a doberman running loose and ended up getting bit by the buggar..resulted in bruised ribs off the attack and some sore knuckles for defending myself! Found out a few weeks later that this couple had the dog pts because of this incident. Never told them what i had concealed in my pocket and the dog had obviously got wind of it.. oh the guilt! Morale of the story is don't go to work stinking like a fox.. 2 Quote Link to post
