Crosshair 77 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 All the haterz will be pleased to know the foxes are getting plenty of poults Lots of grass about added to this wet weather means the ones that make it over the wire are easy pickings. The first one accounted for 46 picked plus whatever she carried away until I got her and the second one is on 54 and still at large. He dropped two poults and a leg of another in front of my snare the other night! My next batch arrive tomorrow so I may need to pull an all nighter to try and sort it out as I can't be in seven places at once Go on, tell me it's revenge for killing all those Cubs 1 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ouch Crosshair. It's one thing trying to find the culprit that's robbed someone else but being the one who's suffered is worse. Quote Link to post
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 With losses like that I hope you get the one at large pretty sharpish. ATB Quote Link to post
Crosshair 77 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Tomorrows poults are cancelled so I'm going to try an early morning vigil. It's coming from over the boundary so quite limited in options really. It's a pen of 3000 so not quite a disaster yet. The electric fencer gets a fresh battery every night to make doubly sure he stays the right side of the wire (I say 'he', it's probably a tiny Vixen ) 1 Quote Link to post

Crosshair 77 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I caught the fox in a snare about ten days ago. As I went to un-shoulder my .22, she gave an almighty tug and vanished into the bracken!!!! Gutted doesn't quite describe it- I was swearing for about four days lol Anyway, she slipped up again this morning and this time the crimp held (I threw out about 30 of my old snares after testing them). It was indeed a Vixen but not a particularly big or small one. 1 Quote Link to post
