First time on Dropbox so may not have got it first time, Walked up on this one towards the end of May probably more below that spotted me earlier but this one was a bit slow and happy sat watching the sheep. Crap quality i know my phone doesn't like wind for some stupid reason...

that earth looks familiar lol is it near to us mate?

 

On a public byway about a mile from l'dod golf course Dan !!

 

i thought so

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

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.

With losses like that I hope you get the one at large pretty sharpish. ATB

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 )

Will do. .

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.

Crosshair did she tell you as she was running off last time her name was Janice and when you caught her you found some I D on her

[Crosshair 77]

Lol! No but she is fairly distinctive.

[Haiddheliwr 1,911]

Was she a ginger/ red colour?
