No Foxes At Home

[Troutslayer 141]

I seem too be having some real trouble this year with finding foxes. Almost all of the the earths are completely untouched this year even tho theres plenty of them about and even putting them up daytime. Is anyone else experiencing this trouble on there land and what could be the reason apart from yet another s**tty mild winter??

[Fellman Mark 607]

Could it be the marking dog? Not a dig mate just a question

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

Can't fault it this year. Now they're pairing up they seem to be everywhere.

[Troutslayer 141]

No mate all our dogs are 100%

[Troutslayer 141]

Yeah they pairing up and indeed are everywhere but nothing using any of the earths

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

Maybe look for new places? If you're seeing them about but they're not in the usual spots they must be going to ground somewhere. We've been finding them in places that are usually poor.

People laugh at me when i extol the virtues of a bushing terrier,the vast majority of fox i encounter is pushed from cover,a small fraction of the fox my mutts encounter are found below.Folk that work their mutts from a leash walk merrily by an occupied patch of cover whilst they walk from earth to earth.

.......And sleep better knowing they never doubled up .

Try it you may furnish another arrow for your bow,the people who frown on it because its not accepted by the more modern terrier soul raise a wry smile with me.Have faith in the mutts and know when 1 is not enough.

Morton write a book.

Id read that

One of my dogs is a russell who is 100% below ground and a brilliant bushing dog. Infact she put two up out of cover early this morn even in all that rain. Thats my point nothing round here seems to be using any earths and after searching high and low no new earths are being dug and all the old ones untouched
