glad you seen fox take to water,one night we ran one down to large s bend in a river.thinking thats it for ole red,but no he swam across.

[j1985 1,983]

One once ran my dog towards a gap in a hedge, hedge was dense no way of easily getting through apart from this one gap. It looked over its shoulder slowed down a little and just as dog was in striking range the fox done a swift left turn sending dog through the gap not having a f***ing clue what just happened and the fox trotted off down the hedge line haha by the time the dog had come back through the fox was long gone.

what a cracking read! and its good to read about the respect you have for old red, I really don't mind things getting away when they really do deserve it. I hate it when mine catches something that bounced of a fence or something. thanks for that

 

Im the same and i always feel sorry when the pick up a squatter or one that didnt see it coming i like them to have a chance.

im the same even tho I get feck all with the dog I still don't slip on squatter always kick them up and give them a few yards and if a hare evades capture for a bit I all ways like see him get to safety some may think that's soft but a really do just love a good race

walking three a wood on a shoot beating looking up trees for squirrels as its a bit of wild west type affair,and see a longthick oak bow with a familar looking hump halfway along,i shoot and all the other walking guns look up and a fox summersaults to the ground.down the line shouts of" fox shot out of tree". lucky they saw it to be fair or they d of ripped the shit out of me

Years ago was out with a couple of lads that had them red and white russell things they had 8 between the 2 of them we were working and old disused chalk quary with a lot of thick cover in the bottom the pack of terriers put a fox out of some thick bramble right in front of 2 good lurchers was a he'll of a chase the fox dodging this way and that both dog were right on its tail when it made its escape strai5 up a 30ft cliff

cracks me how they "wind you" if your scents blowing away from them when calling sometimes it will do a bit arc to get behind your scent then disappear.

You could write a book alone on the cunning of the fox.

Because they're a predator like the dogs we use to hunt them they often know what works and what doesn't work.

Have you ever been standing at the side of a covert with hounds screaming around it and out come the fox.

But he goes down the field at a half pace, with not a care in the world = No scent.

But he goes down the field as if his brush is on fire = Good scent.

 

And he's not loyal to his own kind either, how often does he wake up his brother and tell him to carry on, LOL.

 

Lets face it, if the fox was a dumb animal he'd be long extinct by now.

Long live ol' Charles.
