jiggy 3,209 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I seen a fox and badger fighting when I was a young lad you could hear it from 300 yards away we were out shooting roosting pigeons late winter early spring in evening time.When we got up close to watch there was fur flying at the mouth of a den and the fox wasn't giving up which lead me to believe the fox had an early clutch in the earth and the badger had pushed her out. Just guessing but I'd imagine the fox would walk away from that battle every time but the badger was standing on mouth of earth and whatever was in there that fox wanted to get down there. It wasn't just a tussle but full blown warfare and a sight to behold it would give you goose pimples. I wish I had a camera that day I've never seen anything close to it since nature at its wildest, 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,377 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I think it took about six weeks Buddy being fed daily on mealworms and when I had been fishing pinkies out of my box its funny as I can only get about three feet away but for some reason she can hand feed it it normally lands near by then hops over 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My second outing with my homebuild NV unit I shot a rabbit against the far hedge and within 5 secs a fox dived over and grabbed it, shouted to stop it and shot the fox, really wish I spent a bit more on the bits to film it........... In your case probably a good thing for you he realised his mistake ! Edited December 20, 2016 by Paulnix 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
